Australian batter Steve Smith said on Sunday that playing without a crowd would be another obstacle for him in the series against England. His comment came as the Australian team left for the United Kingdom on Sunday. Australia and England will be bearing horns against each other in three T20Is and three ODIs, starting on September 4. “I do like batting there, unfortunately, there’s going to be no crowd there to egg me on and give me a bit more motivation” said Smith.
