Jason Smith's Century Boosts Confidence As Dolphins Set To Challenge Unbeaten Lions In Four-day Series

A redemption knock of 117 not out off 136 balls in his second innings against the Dragons gave Dolphins batter Jason Smith some added confidence going into their Four-Day Series encounter with Lions in Johannesburg on Thursday 10am start.

Smith saved face after Caleb Seleka bowled him for just eight runs in the first innings at Kingsmead Stadium in Durban.

The 30-year-old stepped up in round two and thrashed 13 fours and three sixes, with a strike-rate of 86, to secure the win for Dolphins.

Smith told Independent Media on Wednesday that the performance was a good confidence-booster, but not much has changed in terms of preparing for a game.

I dont think much has changed for me. My process of preparing for a game, I like to think it stayed the same, but Ive taken a lot from it though, Smith said.
