NSW v Queensland, Sheffield Shield, Canberra
Smith, Haddin take Blues into lead
ESPNcricinfo staff
November 28, 2012
New South Wales 6 for 291 (Smith 90*, Haddin 73, Nevill 55) lead Queensland 243 (Reardon 71, Hartley 66, Bollinger 4-57) by 48 runs
Scorecard
A measured innings by Steve Smith and a punchy one by Brad Haddin helped guide New South Wales to first innings points over Queensland on day two of the Sheffield Shield match in Canberra.
After Doug Bollinger's four wickets helped tip out the Bulls for 243, the Blues stumbled to 4 for 109 before Haddin added 125 with Smith to take their side to the cusp of the lead.
While Haddin perished when swinging Nathan Hauritz to deep midwicket on 73, Smith held his nerve and his wicket, forming a useful stand with the captain Steve O'Keefe that has the chance to grow with the NSW lead on the third morning.
Smith's maturity was demonstrated by the pacing of his innings, playing the reserved partner to Haddin before expanding his array of strokes later on in the company of O'Keefe. Hauritz and Luke Feldman grabbed two wickets apiece for the Bulls.

@ Chris_P on (November 28 2012, 11:16 AM GMT) - I just hope he doesn't give up on his Legspin. I think he was a hell of a lot better than his stats suggested.
Posted by DylanBrah on (November 28, 2012, 11:22 GMT)Smith's maturing quite nicely now that he can focus his energy towards batting. Will be averaging about 50 for the season after this match.
Posted by Chris_P on (November 28, 2012, 11:16 GMT)Agree Meety, he has worked hard on his technique, a lot tighter than it once was.
Posted by Meety on (November 28, 2012, 10:03 GMT)Smith's innings appeared to be chanceless. I thought for a while there Haddin would score his 3rd ton on the trot. In regards to Smith - if his form is good, I'd like to see him tour India for the Test series.
