AUS vs NZ: Steve Smith demanded a free hit from the umpire as soon as he hit a six, know the reason – video
AUS vs NZ, 3rd ODI: Australia cleansweep in the three-match home ODI series against New Zealand. The last match of the series was played on Sunday, which the hosts won by 25 runs. Australian senior batsman Steve Smith scored a century in this match and was also adjudged man of the match.
Smith played an innings of 105 runs off 131 balls and hit a six during this period. The story of this only six is also very funny. Steve Smith hit this six in 37.2 overs and started demanding a free hit from the umpire as soon as he hit the six.
This is the reason why Smith demanded a no ball :-
A batsman gets a free hit when there is a no ball in cricket. The line length of the ball was perfect and neither did Jimmy Neesham overstep. In fact, when Neesham threw the ball, there was less of a fielder inside the ring and that is why Steve Smith demanded a no-ball.
Steve Smith started counting the fielders as soon as he hit six :-
Steve Smith started counting the fielders standing inside the ring with a gesture as soon as he hit a six. Seeing Smith like this, the commentators also started laughing and praised him for this thing. This video is becoming fiercely viral on social media. Talking about the match, Australia scored 267 runs for five wickets in 50 overs. In response New Zealand’s team was reduced to just 242 runs in 49.5 overs.
