Steve Smith at top gives opposition bowlers best chance to get him out, says ex-captain Tim Paine

Former Australia captain Tim Paine feels Steve Smith opening in Tests gives any opposition the best chance to remove him cheaply, something New Zealand bowlers did in the recently concluded away series. Although Paine admitted that with the ability Smith possesses, the veteran batter could succeed at the new position, he still sounded reluctant to watch Smith continue opening in the longer run.
