Does Smith Deserve To Win This Game For S.A ?

Question

Im sat watching the Cricket now and looking at South Africa's scorecard im thinking wow this is a gd knock.

But on the other hand im thinking.

Does he deserve the chance to be there at the end....He clearly gloved a ball from Monty and just stood there knowing he was out and took advantage of the poor upiring that where stuck with these days.

So as a good an innings as this is, Do you think he deserevs to still be there ?

Let me know what you think ?

Answer 1

Yes absolutely he deserve it..

Had the newly introduced "Review system" been applied in this match that would have been referred to the 3rd umpire & given out, but the England players are the one's who did not want to use it in this match. Therefore they have to pay the price.    

Answer 2

What a beautiful match by both teams.

England looked amazing, i could feel the enthusiasm. And South Africa, you could feel the pressure, they faught hard. Smith did a great job, and he deserves to be there, he's not the only one who doesn't walk when they nick/glove it, so he's innings shouldn't be questioned. But you do bring up a good point.

What a match. Test match cricket is not leaving. That's the first good fighting test match i've seen in a long while, full of competetivness to win. I wish i stayed up and watched the last 3 hours, i missed the best part of the match.

Answer 3

kind of innings he played yes

Answer 4

Yes he did pretty well as captain and shown lot of improvement in all the game

Answer 5

I wish he would "voetsak"!

But seriously, it is a really good innings by Smith. He has been head and shoulders above all his team-mates. He really does want to prove that his South African team have shaken off their "choker" tag.

As for whether he gloved it: I don't think Monty did himself any favours with his excessive appealing. It meant that unless the stumps went cartwheeling, or their was an obvious catch, then no appeal was going to be upheld.

Answer 6

Bad umpiring decisions are part and parcel of the game.  The fact remains that Smith won the test and thus the series for Sri Lanka.

Answer 7

luck always favors  the winning team...

a p**i

Answer 8

Ya!!!!!!! he deserves to win the 4th test match for SA.

He played an anchor role as a captain in the victory of SA.

Answer 9

Yes they realy deserve it
