2nd Test, Lord's, London

Where is the Broad quote about Smith influencing the umpires with his electric shock movements? Doesn't make any sense.

Where is the Broad quote about Smith influencing the umpires with his electric shock movements? Doesn't make any sense.

From Fox Sports this morning:

“I think he is quite fidgety and I think he might have even done Aleem Dar on Head’s lbw because he (Smith) threw his arm out as it to say it was going down the leg side,” Broad said.“I think Aleem was going to give it and saw Steve’s hand go. He explains every bit of cricket on the field with his movements after it has happened.
“It’s the way he stays in his batting bubble and he does it very well.”

Tbf we've kept him on so your question stands

 

[Starfighter]

Well Stokes is still bowling...

A couple of deliveries bounced a bit so he kept him on. I doubt he would have started with him otherwise.

Lol Broad is such a ****wit. I hope TPC takes him for a ****ing thousand

 

[TheJediBrah]

Aus only need to get another 19 runs to avoid the follow on right?

I guess you could say they thought it was harsh to hook him after just one over? Still probably not the best move given that England have to knock Australia off quickly to have any chance of winning.

Now 15, but yes. 150 is the follow-on mark for 4-day matches (which this counts as because there was no play on Day 1)

Why would Dar even have been looking at Smith? Bizarre contention.

Yeah.

2 boundaries from Smith have been world class

Not easy shots at all

Thanks. Utter tosh. The least said about that the better.

 

[Spark]

Play that. Missed that by about 3cm.

 

[TheJediBrah]

funny with that play and miss, if Smith was getting right forward and defending he probably would have edged it, but playing from the crease the ball had enough time to move well wide of the edge and he didn't follow it

He may have really figured this batting thing out

 

[Starfighter]

That camera work was just pathetic.

I mean even if it's true it just means England's batsmen should be fidgeting more.

Of course it's BS, but still.

It’s like saying Broad influences the umpire because he looks like the broad who runs Tranny Bingo at the Balmain of a Tuesday night. Just a ****wit thing to say
