Sri Lanka scripted a historic win against the number one Test team Australia in the second and final Test at Galle International Stadium in Galle. The home team was carried over the finish line by debutant Prabath Jayasuriya’s 10-wicket-haul and Dinesh Chandimal’s double century.
But what also helped the Lankans was the big Aussie batting collapse in the second innings, where the visitors folded for just 151 runs in 41 overs. In this poor batting display, a lot of blame was targeted towards Steve Smith for his review after being plumb in front of the stumps. Jayasuriya sent out a slightly turning delivery which hit Smith on the back pad.
Fans on social media platforms were quick to call out this blunder and also deemed the review by Steve Smith as one of the worst reviews in Test cricket. The netizens also went on to call Smith selfish for opting for the DRS despite being clearly out.
