Steve Smith

Australia faced England in the third ODI of the three-match series at the Melbourne Cricket Ground after gaining an unassailable lead of 2-0.

Australia’s Steve Smith showed some brilliant acting skills as he pretended to be not out when it clearly looked out to the naked eye.

Steve Smith pretends to be not out after edging the delivery

Australia’s batter Steve Smith has a history of showing disappointment over his dismissals. He added one more chapter to that list in the third ODI against England at the Melbourne Cricket Ground as he showed as nothing happened even after clearly hitting the ball bowled by Olly Stone and caught by wicketkeeper Jos Buttler.

Olly Stone bowled a fast-paced short delivery to Smith who was premeditating a Yorker on the third delivery of the 46th over of Australia’s innings. Smith positioned himself way outside towards the sixth stump line and then adjusted to pull the stump line bouncer. However, the Aussie batter was too late on the shot and his glove flicked the ball on its way through to Buttler.

Buttler straightaway heard something and was so confident that he raised his finger to show that’s out. However, Umpire Wilson didn’t signal out and Olly Stone too didn’t look confident. Seeing this Buttler signaled for a DRS after which Umpire Wilson immediately raised his finger and Steve Smith had to leave the field even after pretending like he was not out. Wilson hadn’t raised his finger earlier as Buttler or Stone had not appealed at all. Stone wasn’t sure while Buttler just kept raising his finger and didn’t appeal.

What you waiting, what you waiting for?

Smith departed for a 16-ball 21 after coming to bat number three as Australia got a brilliant opening partnership from David Warner and Travis Head. Head scored 152 runs off just 130 deliveries while Warner scored 106 runs off just 102 deliveries.

Australia has done well in the series as they have already won the first two games of the three-match ODI series. The series is crucial for both sides as the ODI World Cup is scheduled next year in October-November in India and the teams won’t get much time from now on to shift focus towards the ODI format.
