Daniel Bell-Drummond steals the show as Steve Smith and David Warner face off in grade cricket

Bell-Drummond made 106 from 130 balls for Warner's club Randwick Petersham to help his side to 267 for eight batting first in their 50-over New South Wales Premier Cricket game against Sutherland at the Coogee Oval

It might have been billed as the clash of two fallen titans but the much-publicised meeting of Steve Smith and David Warner in Sydney grade cricket on Saturday was dominated by a batsman from Kent.

Daniel Bell-Drummond made 106 from 130 balls for Warner's club Randwick Petersham to help his side to 267 for eight batting first in their 50-over New South Wales Premier Cricket game against Sutherland at the Coogee Oval.

Bell-Drummond carved out six boundaries and a six during his knock, making up for the failure of his opening partner Warner, who was dismissed for just 13.

Smith, meanwhile, made 48 batting at No.3 for the visitors, who reached their target with three wickets and two balls to spare.

Shane Watson hit 63 at the top of the order.

Smith and Warner are serving 12-month bans for their part in the ball-tampering scandal, which rocked Australian cricket in March.

The pair will be eligible for selection for their country again in time for next year's World Cup but are currently barred from playing international and state cricket.

Cricket Australia are considering a formal motion from the Australian Cricketers' Association to have the sentences reduced in the wake of the scathing Ethics Centre review inton cricketing culture Down Under.

The Longstaff Review placed part of the blame for the Cape Town incident, dubbed Sandpapergate, on figures within the governing body, which it deemed as being "arrogant" and "controlling".

Their win-at-all-costs mentality, the report suggested, played a significant role.
