Ind v Aus Test Series 2017 : Steve Smith Disappointed With BCCI For Mathew Wade Clip

#IndvAus #TestSeries 2017 #India

Here's the Story:

Australian #Skipper #SteveSmith revealed that he was very disappointed with #BCCI's action of releasing a commentary-free version of the #Spat between India's #RavindraJadeja and Australia's #MatthewWade. 

According to Smith, what's said on the field should stay on the field and the BCCI was not right in releasing the video on the internet. 

"I was a little bit disappointed that the BCCI sieved through the #Archives to find a #Conversation out on the #Field that was happening between Matty and Jadeja. I think it's happened between both sides this series so the fact that they've done that to us is a little bit disappointing. Usually what's said on the field should stay on the field," Smith said in the #PostMatch #PressConference.

Smith also offered the members of the Indian #CricketTeam to join them for a beer in the dressing rooms after the end of a thrilling #TestSeries in which both the teams gave more than 100% to get the bragging rights of the #Border-Gavaskar Trophy.

According to ABC Grand Stand's Alister Nicholson, Steve Smith opened up to him and said he asked India's skipper in the fourth Test, #AjinkyaRahane, if they could join India for a beer in the dressing rooms.

For your information, the see-saw four-match Test seriessaw #Sledging and other #Controversies hogging the #Limelight more than the on-field performances. Both the teams were involved in #Abusing the opposition throughout the series. 

What happened actually?

During the first session of Day 3 of the fourth Test, Jadeja was threatening to take the game away from the Aussies with a sublime 63. In a ploy to unsettle the Saurashtra all-rounder, the Australians began to sledge him; wicketkeeper Matthew Wade and Smith himself got involved in a war of words with Jadeja and the on-field #Umpire, #IanGould had to interfere to maintain peace.

It all began with Wade saying something to the Indian all-rounder, and the entire episode was heard on the stump mic. BCCI released the video without any commentary in the background, which then went viral on the internet.

Later, there was one more instance when Wade asked Jadeja the meaning of a Hindi cuss word that Jadeja might have directed at him. The video of this went viral on the internet but this time, it wasn't BCCI's fault as they didn't release the video.

It is good on Steve Smith's part to invite the Indian team for a beer after a long series which is the best way to end a series filled with animosity. At the same time, BCCI could have made sure that the video of the spat between Wade and Jadeja was not made public as what is said on the field, stays on the field.

CWC15 LIVE - Australia Thump India, Meet NZ In Sunday's Final

#India vs #Australia
#SCG
26th Mar 2015

Australia have thumped India in the second semifinal at #SCG clinically.
India looked up for it in their run chase until the 13th over when Dhawan and Rohit were taking the Australian bowlers on... but once Dhawan went, it was a procession of wickets that pushed them back.

After that, it was downhill although #MSDhoni and #AjinkyaRahane strung a small partnership to raise some hopes but it was a big ask and they capitulated under immense pressure.

They didnt seem to have a Plan B, but their Plan A went horribly wrong losing the top 4 batsmen in a freak period after being 76 for no loss in 13 overs to go to 108 for 4 in 22 overs.

For Australia, it was #MitchellStarc yet again doing most of the damage along with #MitchellJohnson and #JamesFaulkner. It was the perfect game for Australia - bat first, pile score and put pressure on the opposition. India were not up for it today and their winless summer against Australia continued. Disappointing end to their campaign

Australia will now play New Zealand in the big Sunday final.

#LIVE #CRICKET #SCORE
Aus: 328 for 7
Ind: 233 all out 46.3 overs

26th Mar 2015

Aussies have almost nailed the Indian coffin, but for MS Dhoni at the crease.
He has played a sedate knock so far, blocking and prodding or is he waiting to explode.

Too much to do you feel but if there is one guy who can dream of doing this, it has to be him Or has he left it for too late!

CWC14 LIVE - Dhawan-Kohli-Rohit Wickets Put Australia On Top

#India vs #Australia
#SCG
26th Mar 2015

From 76 for no loss, India have slumped to 91 for 3.
The Aussies have bounced back tremendously after the Dhawan-Rohit rock solid start.

#ShikharDhawan with the Aussies at his mercy, decided to smash #JoshHazlewood over the offside and found #GlenMaxwell with precision on the extra cover fence! A solid 45 but you would question that shot for sure...

#ViratKohli never looked in. He pushed, prodded and then just went for a non existent pull, top-edging behind the stumps off #MitchellJohnson.

#RohitSharma looked like he had got in and smashed Johnson for a six over mid-wicket but the very next ball.he was castled by Johnson to erupt into jubilant celebrations.

CWC15 LIVE - Aus Score 328, 20 runs many or 20 runs short vs Ind

#India vs #Australia
#SCG
26th Mar 2015

Late burst from the lower order put Australia on a good score of 328 in 50 overs.
#ShaneWatson, #JamesFaulkner and #MitchellJohnson added valuable runs towards the end to push the score to challenging levels. At one stage Australia were pushed back by a flurry of wickets but thats where their late order came to the fore to score those important runs needed to finish well.

So, what does the score look like?
328 for 7

- Australia will feel 20 runs short considering they were motoring along at one stage.

- India will feel 20 runs more considering they had pulled the game brilliantly around the 40th over.

Game on here with India's strong batting lineup.

Aus: 328 for 7

CWC15 LIVE - Quick Wickets Evens The Match Once Again - Ind v Aus

#India vs #Australia
#SCG
26th Mar 2015

Quick wickets have brought India right back in their semifinal match vs Australia at the SCG.

Looking down the barrel at 197 for 1, with Smith and Finch setting stage for an explosive finish, the Indian bowlers and fielders hung in and have been rewarded handsomely with 4 key wickets.

First, #StevenSmith pulled one off #UmeshYadav to mid wicket. He scored a magnificent 105 but couldnt go all the way.

That brought #GlennMaxwell to the crease to push the innings into an orbit.
He started well smashing a couple of fours and big six over midwicket.

The battle everyone was talking about before the game started was Maxwell vs #RaviAshwin. They faced each other and Ashwin foxed Maxwell to slog sweep down long leg's throat. Huge this!!! could make a difference of 50-75 runs overall.

Finch who was scratchy throughout felt the pressure to push on the accelerator.
He half pulled a Umesh bouncer to short midwicket.

With two new batsmen at the crease #MichaelClarke and #ShaneWatson, India applied pressure and squeezed runs. With pressure rising, Clarke pulled one from #MohitSharma straight to midwicket. Another huge one.

Its all to play for in the last few overs.
Game on!

Aus: 258 for 5, 44 overs

#India vs #Australia
#SCG
26th Mar 2015

Contrasting half centuries from #StevenSmith and #AaronFinch have put Australia ahead in this contest vs India in the second semifinal of #CWC15.

After a shaky start, they have got in a great groove and setting up a great platform for their pinch hitters to take centrestage in the end stages of their batting innings.

Smith has been fluent, confident and brilliant with his placements, timing and run scoring. Finch has been scratchy, unsure but hung on there. A couple of close shaves have gone his way too.

CWC15 LIVE - Both Teams Feeling Each Other After First Powerplay - Ind v Aus

#India vs #Australia
#SCG
26th Mar 2015

There are nerves, tension and you can sense both teams are feeling each other in the mandatory powerplay (overs 1 to 10). It was India that started with better sense of purpose bowling with pace, swing and great lines pushing the Aussies back. #UmeshYadav surprised #DavidWarner with a short bouncer that looped to mid-wicket where #ViratKohli taking a simple catch.

#StevenSmith walked in as if he restarted from the summer series vs India. Confidently playing his shots and steadying the innings. #AaronFinch is still not looking settled but has weathered the initial storm. 

4 Boundaries by Smith in Yadav's one over has gotten the Aussies going well.
They have picked up the pace now and seem to be upping the run rate.

CWC15 LIVE - Aus Win Toss Bat First vs Ind At SCG

#India vs #Australia
#SCG
26th Mar 2015

In a cracker of a semifinal at the SCG, Australia have won the toss and elected to bat first.
Tosses have been funny in key games of this world cup. Teams that have won the toss, have generally elected to bat but havent gone on to win their games. So, it could just be a good toss to lose for India! Time will tell.

Both teams look all set to go!
Let the game begin...

CWC15 - Ind vs Aus - Semifinal Ready To EXPLODE At SCG

#India vs #Australia
#SCG
26th Mar 2015

If the first semifinal was battle between two nervous teams looking to get into a world cup final, this second one promises to be a bull fight between two seasoned world champs (Australia - 4 times champs while India - 2 times the winners). This is going to be massive!

Australia, playing in home conditions would be confident going into this one especially with their pace battery and strong batting lineup. India, on the other hand, have turned the corner quite remarkably after a tough summer in Australia. They have a sense of invincibility about them now.

No team will give or take an inch in this one. Their battles over the last few years have been fiery to an extent of being "ugly" at times. No love lost between opposing players. Most games these summer have been marred by these aggression between the two teams. That has slightly dampened the high quality cricket these teams have produced over these games.

So, who will win at the halo'd #SCG?

The rampaging Indians who have demolished all oppositions that have come their way till date or the might Aussies with its pace attack? Can spin be the decisive factor? If it is, then India will be the happier side big time and may edge ahead of the Aussies.

Will it be the Trans-Tasman rivalry in the final at the #MCG on Sunday or will NZ need to face the defending champions?
