Australia captain Steve Smith has revealed he was preparing to change up his XI in preparation for a T20-style battle in his team's washed-out Champions Trophy clash with South Africa in Pakistan.
Tuesday's match at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium was abandoned without a single ball being bowled due to persistent heavy rain.
The umpires called off the contest almost four hours after the toss was meant to be held, with the glum forecast convincing them there was no hope of being able to complete the minimum 20 overs per side needed to constitute a match.
