The conspiracy would have more legs if the ball that felled Smith wasn't so brutal, and the fact that he came out at the end and batted like a man who'd just downed 8 or 9 tequila shots before leaving one on 90-odd hitting middle and middle.
What I'm trying to say here is, how dare you try and talk shit about an all-time CHAMPION of the game who's an Aussie and would never stoop so low as to fake an injury against the POMS and sit out a game while his Aussie BROTHERS battle on without him.
I agree with this. That ball absolutely smoked him.
In days gone by he would have batted with a headache the next day or when ever it was but now the science says not to.

I'm shocked, SHOCKED! that anyone in professional sport would even CONSIDER using concussion laws to their advantage. That idea has never, EVER, come up before.
shocked

Nobody cares. Still got the Ashes.
Yep.
Winning excuses EVERYTHING.
Aaron "Toilet Boy" Smith is still an All Black, after all.
Que?

"Winning excuses everything" is a very long bow, and easily drawn.

Is this a different person to the one with the very same name that got a one year ban for being invovled in the ball tampering cheating episode?

to be fair, Smith is a very common name

Tim Paine didn't quite agree:
Tim Paine: [Smith] is OK. Really nasty knock, he felt OK yesterday, but woke up not feeling at his best so the decision was made to leave him out. Steve passed all his tests, he deteriorated overnight, he re-tested, they weren't as good this morning, and the professionals made that call. He'll need to improve [to play at Headingley] but too early to tell.
Sick note 😉

@NTA wondering why they declared before letting Warner make 400
Game to win. Weather forecast looking dodgy.
Clearly wanted second place.
The "maybe they don't want Warner to have the record" comment smacked of conspiracy.
Lol, plenty of others are questioning this decision, too..
Warner mentioned in the same breathe as Brian Lara? Nah sorry

BBL - Match at Manuka called off between Sydney Thunder and Adelaide Strikers due to poor visibility, aka smoke from the fires. Quite apocalyptic and then the wind died off so the haze remained.

Mitch Marsh getting the moon out in Perth.
Australia should definitely get him in the side for boxing day

Heat v Thunder reduced to 8 overs a side. Brisbane batting first.
They've just lost their first after 5 overs. 90-1
Banton with 56 off 19
Now Lynn goes for 31 off 13.
2-90
-
Brakes go on, and Heat end their 8 overs on 119/4
-
Did anyone else watch Stoinis's innings last night? 147 off 79. The Stars didn't lose a wicket until the last over, and they had a couple of hundred on the board.
It was brutal hitting, some massive shots. There was one straight 6 that sounded like it came out of a gun it was hit that hard.
Unsurprisingly their 219 was far too much

I saw the last 60 runs. Some incredible hitting.
I know his Shield form hasn't been great, and T20 is not Test cricket, but I would be taking him on the tour to Bangladesh
There's rumours that Aus want to replace Wade with a batting allrounder. They may even be looking at Henriques again.. or Marsh
Stoinis seems like the far better long term bet and it's a low pressure tour -

Are there any highlights online? The Indian broadcasters do a good job of locking down youtube
The Aussie Cricket Youtube account doesn't have anything, and I couldn't find the Indian account (if they even have one), but apparently Cricket Pakistan to the rescue:
