The only defence he has is that the umpires didn't pull him up instantly ob it, so it wasn't deemed to be in a place considered "in play"?Stupid ? Probably. Cheating? Most definitely not. Smith comes across as being a little bit OCD, very quirky. He'd be the type of bloke who walks around the house playing cricket shots (Air batting). I think his explanation was fair enough if you ask me. Media beat up yet again. As they said on SEN this morning, Paine's apology was a joke, basically apologising to the Twitter minority. FFS he called a bloke two feet away from him a DH. No racial slurs, no taboo topics like wives, kids, family etc. The country is stuffed I tell ya. Pandering to nuffies.
