Smiff owns up ! - ketchim - 12-16-2016
Steven Smith was due some luck, and on the first day at the Gabba, he got it.
Having lost six consecutive tosses, Smith finally won one. He chose to bat.
Smith batted well, but on 53 edged behind part-timer Azhar Ali's delivery and
was dropped by wicketkeeper Sarfraz Ahmed. Pakistan would rue that miss.

Then, on 97, Smith again edged behind, but this time was caught by Sarfraz
off Mohammad Amir. The chance for a hundred could have vanished,
but Smith could hardly believe his eyes as Pakistan were deceived by their ears.
None of the Pakistan players had heard Smith's edge, and none appealed. :-[
Smith played it cool, batted on, and reached his 16th Test century,
and first against Pakistan.

"I was very surprised, it was pretty loud, obviously I was on 97,
there was a fair bit going on in the crowd," Smith on ABC radio on Friday morning.
"It was pretty loud, but yeah, I did nick it, and no one went up
so I wasn't going to walk."
