One similarity Smith has with S Waugh is that self righteous, know it all shake of the head when they're dismissed, even when correctly.

For the game to get more exciting, decisions like that have to be given.

...why?

Ball was hitting the stumps. Umpire was entirely correct to give it out. May have only been clipping, but you don't overturn because it isn't out enough.

Agree 100%. You can't be mad. Umpire gave it out, and DRS had it out as well.

Most of the time that wouldn't have been given afaic. Yeah it was at least partially hitting but often you'd survive that.

stupid on field call, Smith was 2m outside his crease. Not out would definitely NOT have been reviewed. i rest my case

Ye no there is nothing in the rules that says you can't be out lbw if you are '2m outside your crease'.

He was out. DRS proved the umpire right. Nothing wrong here.

what do you expect from a head to not shake it

good call by the ump tbh

Proof that the campaign making it clear Smith is boring and **** has won.

The former "TPC" gang of spikey, burgey and co. have lost the war. Posting pictures in a onesie doesn't make you good in anyway. In fact it probably makes you ****.
eat a mango, ****
