***Official*** Pakistan in Australia 2016/17

Given the match situation it'd actually be perfect if he just matched his average as quickly as possible and got out tbh.

See? Just right.

 

[Starfighter]

Drat, that drops his average to 80.00.

 

[Tangles]

3rd ump doesn't like watching Smith bat. Is he Blocky in disguise?

 

[Blocky]

Might help if he just walked when he edged it... twice in a row?

 

[Burgey]

Tough batting conditions meant TPC was unable to improve his average as downhill skiing was not available

Perfect timing.

He'll really be kicking himself; last soft match of the series and he didn't get to put on the type of runs that everyone else in his side has so far... with India to come and that average to fall like a freebird.

Nice of him to be exposed so repeatedly as a cheat though.

Biased Australian pundits (McGrath) thinks there is no evidence to dismiss Smith.

Yeah, funny how a deflection, hotspot and spike on snicko isn't evidence; but if any one of those three appeared and it was an Australian bowling; different story.

Both of those are probably the faintest nick and glove brush I've seen, and even the wicketkeeper wasn't that interested in the first nick (Im assuming you're talking about the day/night one that barely grazed the bat)

debatable tbh

but regardless lol @ anyone suggesting that he should have walked, or that he would even have known it flicked his glove. You don't feel or hear that.

The first match, he himself stated "I knew I'd hit it, I was surprised they didn't appeal"
This match, he pretends he didn't hit it.

But sure; let's believe Baby Jesus.

I really thinking players should be made to wait on the umpire's decision now, particularly with the recent history in world cricket of match fixing.

Not debatable in the slightest. Hotspot and spike. Or do we now quantify these hot spots and spikes? ''Big ones are out''?

Hahahaha, so true my man. Keep up the good fight! Truer words have never been spoken. I love you, I love New Zealand cricket, I love hating Steve Smith.

Where do you get your ideas from? Like seriously, I'm so stupid that suicide is at the top of my bucket list, meanwhile you parade around here with an Ashwin-sized brain the size of a dwarf star and the rest of us just squirm under your assertive manliness.

 

[Spark]

I'm so glad that Smith was involved at something vaguely controversial so this thread can get totally insufferable for the next 3 pages again. Exactly what was needed this afternoon.

"Location: sydney"

Would never have guessed.

 

[TheJediBrah]

Smith's average is so remarkable given how unselfish a batsman he is. The number of times he's thrown it away going for a declaration over the last few years is absurd.

The first match, he himself stated "I knew I'd hit it, I was surprised they didn't appeal"
This match, he pretends he didn't hit it.

But sure; let's believe Baby Jesus.

Yeah because no other batsmen in the world do that . . .

Lmao

 

[Starfighter]

Nice roll. Shame he missed the ball.

My god you really are dire. I think Steve Smith is a deadset knob and is probably my least favourite cricket getting around atm...........but I see no problem with either of those scenarios.
