Steve Smith tries NFL eye black for Gabba pink-ball Test

Australia's acting captain Steve Smith is experimenting with NFL-style eye black to improve visibility of the pink ball during the upcoming Gabba Test. Smith wore the eye black during training, aiming to reduce glare and enhance his ability to pick up the ball under lights. Teammate Usman Khawaja also attended training but left early without batting. This move highlights the challenges of playing with the pink ball, particularly at the Gabba, where Australia has had mixed results in previous day-night matches.
