Steve Smith was dismissed in dramatic fashion off the first ball of the Sydney Smash<\/a> after copping some good natured banter from previous Test opener David Warner.<\/p>\n

Smith played an overly ambitious shot from the opening Daniel Sams delivery \ufeffand was caught by Nathan McAndrew in the deep at a stunned SCG on Friday.<\/p>\n

"I don't think Steve Smith has mishit one for the Sixers in two seasons, I can't believe that," Mark Waugh said in commentary for Fox Cricket.<\/p>\n

\"Steve<\/p>\n

"It is a pretty hard shot to play first ball."<\/p>\n

Before the innings, Warner, playing for the Thunder after arriving on a helicopter<\/a>, was mic'd up and having some playful fun at his longtime teammate's expense, referencing Smith's tennis date in Melbourne the night before.<\/a><\/p>\n

"He's got his tennis swing on I reckon," Warner said.<\/p>\n

\"Smith<\/p>\n

"Him and Novak Djokovic are mates now, so we might see a bit of top spin. He loves a little slice over third man."<\/p>\n

Warner then sledged Smith – who will replace him as Australia's Test opener against the West Indies<\/a> – as he took guard.\ufeff<\/p>\n

"No that's not centre. To the right. Mate, if you open the batting you have got to mark it properly. One go only."<\/p>\n

The Sixers made 7-151 batting first with Josh Philippe \ufefftop scoring with 47.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
