IPL Final on right now. Hopefully Watson can get some runs; he has been pretty poor all series.
Saw the warm up game Friday at Alan border field. Smith and Maxwell looking really good. Smith, played beautifully and I’m sure will come back to number 1 player in the world very quickly too. He will make such a difference

15 off 22 before running himself out by not taking an obvious 2. But played out 5 dot balls off a pie-chucker when he came in.
Smith just got 100 and the crowd booed him.
Smith 100 off 94
Carey made a good 30 off 14.
6/273 off 47.3
Great innings by Smith. Has seemed almost effortless
I’d be giving the 3rd umpire the big A. Blatantly a bump ball.
Extraordinary decision. I don’t know how he thought that was out. It looked like a bump ball in real time and every replay confirmed it was a bump ball.
