Steve Smith ready for first test on home soil since ball-tampering ban

http://www.abc.net.au/news/2018-09-19/s ... tion=sport

The extra sausages for the canteen have been ordered.

After all, it's not often you get a former Australian cricket captain at the height of his powers strapping on the pads at his home cricket club, with his reputation on the line.

Steve Smith is preparing for his first appearance on home soil since the ball-tampering scandal in South Africa in March, when he plays for Sutherland in Sydney's grade competition this Saturday.

Sutherland skipper Chris Williams, who is preparing to introduce the banned former Australia captain to his new team mates at training this week, says Smith is in a good state of mind.

"I spoke to him while he was in the Caribbean but I didn't want to keep him too long because he was coming back (to Australia) and he only had a week or so to prepare for his wedding," Williams said. "He sounded very happy and relaxed. He said he was looking forward to being part of it. He has got a lot of information, a lot of ways to prepare. He has been around the world's best coaches and is one of the world's best players, so there is a lot to learn."

Smith, whose wedding was held last weekend, is expected to be part of the Sutherland squad for the rest of the year, with half of his original 12-month international and domestic ban now served.

SPORTS CENTER CONTEST #235

FOOTBALL DAILY DOUBLE


For Americans, FOOTBALL means the NFL and that game played with the silly shaped ball... For most of the rest of the World, Football is really soccer
So to keep both sides happy, Sunday provides us with both NFL and Premier League Action
I've selected a NFL game that involves two teams nobody will "likely" use in Survivor :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: and one of the two Premier League matches
And since we will be featuring a game from two different sports, it's time for a FOOTBALL DAILY DOUBLE You know the drill. You will have to make the correct prediction on BOTH games to win.

INFORMATION
GAME ONE - SOCCER

Arsenal 65% vs Everton 14% + Draw 21% = 35%
In the early match for Sunday, we give you what should be a freebee... Arsenal is a heavy favorite even when we add the draw to the dog. But, we all know how some of these "freebees" have gone :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

GAME TWO - FOOTBALL
Dallas Cowboys 45% at Seattle Seahawks 55%
Seattle is 1.5 point favorite in what should be a close match, and probably the game that will decide who wins this Daily Double. Seattle has started the season with two losses, and they are PISSED. They plan on taking it out on Dallas in front of their fans in Seattle... This should be a good game

The FAVORITES are in Bold and Blue

What is it?
This is a Daily Double so you will need to predict the winners of both events to win your share of the pool

How do you play?
To enter this contest, you will need to post the following:
FOOTBALL DAILY DOUBLE
Pick either Arsenal or Everton/Draw
Pick either Dallas or Seattle

EXAMPLE POST

SUNDAY 3 PM (UTC +0)

SPORTS CENTER CONTEST #233
PREMIER LEAGUE DAILY DOUBLE

GAME ONE
Manchester United 1 - WOLVES/DRAW 1

United were the clear favorites in this matchup but it was a surprising result!
Pogba and Fred worked in tandem to give MU an early lead but the Wolves leveled it in the second half thanks to Moutinho and hung on with some great defense to end it in a DRAW.

Only 2 people had picked Wolves/DRAW and have a shot at the Daily Double :D
…and they’re split 50/50 on Game Two…

GAME TWO - Tottenham vs. Brighton gets underway in about 30 minutes.

Stay tuned for the final results later ;)
