Rare Smith drop highlights reverse-swing potency: Di Venuto | Pakistan v Australia 2022



Normally an ‘outstanding’ pair of hands, Steve Smith’s dropped chance on day four was a big missed opportunity admits Michael di Venuto, the assistant coach who pointed to reverse swing while the ball is hard as a day-five key in Karachi with Australia needing eight wickets and Pakistan still 313 runs behind

  1. "Rare Drop" Smith drops lots of catches in slips. Just the fact that he has taken some spectacular ones fools people. He is not a good fundamental slipper.

  2. Anyone can drop… Its a game… It was his bad day…

  3. Catches can be dropped by anyone Steve Smith is also a human and every son of Adam peace be upon him makes mistakes but good are those who repent them 😊

  4. Well played Aussie !

  5. I think this pandemic has taught people theimportance of multiple streams of incomeĀ .Ā Unfortunately having a job doesn't meanĀ security rather having different investment inĀ the real deal

  6. World War III Has Begun; How It Unfolds Depends on Us

    We think of the Russia-Ukraine war as a local conflict, but it is much more than that; it is a global war on multiple fronts. The war is not only a military conflict; it is also an economic war of attrition. With skyrocketing gas prices and shortage of staples, people all over the world are feeling the consequences of the war.

    This war is transforming the entire modus operandi of humanity. Since the dawn of time, we have been accustomed to living by the motto, ā€œsurvival of the fittest.ā€ By and large, the rule was that the strong determined the rules, and the rules were often abusive toward the weak. Now, it seems like a new mindset has set in: Wanting something and being strong enough to take it does not mean that the world will accept it.

    The war, therefore, is being fought on the inside no less, and perhaps more than on the outside. Our very makeup is changing from abusive to cooperative, from narcissistic to altruistic.

    It hurts, and it will not happen without a struggle, but it is irreversible. This is the path of our evolution toward the purpose of our creation—to encompass within us all of creation. To do that, we must come to care for it, just as a mother encompasses her child through her maternal love.

    The struggle to transition from our current uncaring and mean approach to all creations but ourselves, into wise and compassionate beings is called ā€œthe war of Gog and Magogā€ or Armageddon.

    Since the war is about our inner makeup, we can fight it within us. If we object to struggling with ourselves over who will rule—the ego or love—the physical reality will force us to choose love nonetheless. However, it will do so by hurting us in a very physical way.

    The war in Eastern Europe is nothing compared to what we might have to endure if we resist the process. The horrific descriptions of our sages and prophets hint at it, and we would not want to live through it.

    Alternatively, we can fight this war within us without firing a single bullet. The choice is in our hands. All we need is to continue in the same direction that nature is already leading us: toward connection. If we make an effort to care for one another, even though initially we don’t, then we are moving in the right direction. If we try to resolve conflicts not with guns or even legal battles, but by strengthening the care and friendship between us, then we are saving lives and sparing torments from countless people.

    In conclusion, let us try to rise above the hatred and see the human on the other side, who suffers too. Let us think that this war was given to us so we would think about each other more than we have so far. After all, were it not for this war, we would not notice one another. Now that it is here, we are no longer indifferent. Although our feelings our currently negative, now that we are aware of them, we can work on them together and turn them around. These are the wars of the Messiah who moshech [Hebrew: pulls] us out of the ego, and into mutual love..

  7. You guys r missing the point, in the Pakistan the pollution is so much that you can't clearly watch the ball in slips 🤣🤣🤣

  8. Kiska cath drop ker diya tha

  9. Not enough sandpaper 🤦

  10. there is constant fear of security in his mind
    That's why he dropped easy catch.

  11. When in pakistan, field like pakistanis do šŸ˜‚šŸ¤£

  12. Smith always drops catches at crucial moments in the game

  13. Not surprised really expected Australia's fielding to drop a notch once they landed into the land of misfields… Pakistan

  14. No worry its part of the game smith is brilliant feilder love from Pakistan

  15. Dropped mean will cost u…

  16. Excuses, excuses. He's a professional sportsperson paid a shitload of money to NOT drop easy catches. His slip fielding's been atrocious in recent years.

  17. how come they couldn't show the drop?

  18. We're going to lose this. It must be a mental thing, but we always play awful cricket trying to bowl sides out in these circumstances. We start dropping catches, missing run-out chances, and misfielding. And Lyon is never a factor in last innings when you think the situation and conditions should favour him. It's the one knock on his record.

  19. Not the first catch Smith has dropped this test – it’s the third one, although this was the easiest one by far. Smith is really out of form in terms of his catching.

  20. A prove that he is also a human. Even Rhodes dropped a easy one.
