Need to be positive again Delhi: Smith......

All-rounder, Steven Smith wants his side to play positively against Delhi after the thrashing they received at the hands of Chris Gayle a few days ago in Bangalore. "It was an amazing innings, wasn't it? A player like him is arguably the best in the world in this format. That happens in Twenty20 cricket, and we will learn from that," stated Smith. 

Smith wanted his team to forget about the Gayle storm that blew them apart a few days ago. "It is a new game and hopefully, we can come out with a good mindset and be positive from the start. Start the game well and come out with a win at the end of it," Smith said. 

Smith conceded that his team hadn't had a great start to the season but was hopeful of bouncing back. "We have lost a few narrow ones that we probably should not have lost. But we just hope to continue to play good cricket, and hopefully, we can get a few wins and get some momentum coming into the end of the tournament," added Smith. 

Smith has had a tough time in India having been a part of the Australian Test side who was given a 4-0 Brownwash by MS Dhoni's men. He is keen on leaving the country on a happy note. "I think I started OK with the bat. Obviously, I've got a pretty good feel at the moment, since I've been here for a while now. With the Test series, I got used to batting on these kinds of wickets. I just got to keep working hard in the middle and perform to my ability and try to get Pune over the line a bit more," quoted Smith.
