Lets be honest was a crap shot, way to full to be pulled, but we all know Davey, wants the other batters to get some time at the wicket

Marnus wanting to give other batters a hit

[dedja]

Fairly decent brain fart.

Kinda what you do when you're 1/5

Bat for another 20 overs get a lead near 420 and blaze it?

Was that even hitting the bail

Was that even hitting the bail

No, not according to the technology

Smith just showed the problem with why fans don't embrace the team.
May or may not have been poor decision but accept it and go.
Swings and roundabouts

I'm confused (again),
If the technology is used and it shows that the ball isn't hitting the stumps/bails, why is it still given as out?

Umpires call FFS.
At least Australia retain the review being umpires call.

He did go, you're allowed to shake your head in disbelief as you walk off.

And back chatting the umpire

Steve Smith would be the slowest to get off the ground when given out.

Was he? What did he say? Was it directed at the umpire?

What a stupid way to determine if someone is out or not, an artificial, computer-generated fake line.

It’s a complete joke. The half ball / umpire’s decision malarky is embarrassing.

DRS has consistently shown that umpires are bloody good these days, so get rid of it as it slows things down and becomes an unwelcome spectacle. Just use it in the background for umpire training.

The days of cheating or incompetent (Steve Bucknor says hi) umpires are long gone. Yes, there will be mistakes, but howlers, the supposed original reason for introducing DRS, are largely a thing of the past.
