In the first Test against Pakistan, the Australian dressing room garnered attention as a viral picture depicted a whiteboard displaying a list of players recognized as the greatest spin all-rounders of all time. Notably, Steve Smith was pictured standing in front of the board as he was waiting for his chance to go out to bat on a beautiful Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) ground.
Moreover, prominent Indian all-rounders Ravichandran Ashwin, Ravindra Jadeja, and Axar Patel were acknowledged among the finest spin-bowling all-rounders in cricket history in the Australian dressing room. During the Boxing Day Test against Pakistan at the iconic MCG, Australia displayed the names of the premier spinning all-rounders on the board. The list featured legendary figures such as Sir Gary Sobers, Daniel Vettori, Shakib Al Hassan, Richie Benaud, Travis Head, and Samit Patil.
