I suspect the Australian commentators will be a continued nightmare for us watching about Smith's dismissal for hours to come.

Smith will get revenge by bowling some pies of his own.

That step to the side that Wood does to bowl wider of the stumps is strange, isn't it? I quite like his runup and action though, it's fun to watch.

That's about as close to hitting outside the line of off as possible. Holy moly.

I believe because there is no predictive aspects involved umpire call there just means kumer was actually right but the majority of the ball was outside the line of the stumps.

Fair enough decision.

Clarke likes to declare at an unexpected time to just to gently caress with people. Honestly not a bad tactic to keep them guessing.
