Be it dropped catches, marginal calls, marginal DRS reviews, etcetera.

That ontop of winning more tosses than you lose, and doing it in conditions where winning the toss puts you at a 75% chance of winning the match.

To risk starting another of the 'how important is the toss?' debates... That's a ****ing moronic thing to say.

lol a part of me actually thinks you're serious and it's hilarious
Why is it so outrageous to suggest Smith's had luck today?

Put down from a lolly-pop chance to the keeper & nicked one nobody could hear, Along with a few other more regular pieces of luck most batsmen need to get to 3 figures.

Lol the toss debate again. Yay. Hope Australia/Pakistan prove it to be total horseshit just like India and England did.

Agree Smith's has his fair share of luck, but disagree the toss is worth that much here.

It's not a green gabba track, but it's also not a subcontinent wicket either.

Because Smith is their baby jesus, and any point made about the fact that they generally get the rub of the green can't be taken seriously, because Australia are righteous, man.

Work on your reading comprehension

edit: This is what I was responding to, and quoted:

And again, Australia gets lucky.

Unbelievable how many calls just go fractionally their way.
Wasn't just talking about Smith today m8

Batting well in the first innings of a day night match puts you at a huge advantage of being able to put the opposition in against the new ball in the toughest conditions during the match.

8-) Every team and player have had and will continue to have pieces of luck. Only difference nowadays is we notice a lot more because of technology and thanks to the internet people have a place to eternally bitch about ****.

As if a New Zealander would know anything about pink ball cricket.

You've lost 100% of pink ball matches you've played.
