Australia batter Steve Smith says he nicked a delivery that was ruled not out on the first day of the match against Bangladesh in Darwin. Smith acknowledges that the decision could have gone the other way based on the contact he believes he made with the ball.
Multiple reports from Australian outlets describe the same incident and quote Smith’s admission in similar terms. While the coverage focuses primarily on Smith’s perspective on the dismissal call, none of the excerpts dispute that the ball was originally given not out or that it occurred during day one play at Darwin. The accounts emphasize the batter’s recognition of the likely edge, rather than shifting to any alternative explanation for the decision.
Overall, the reporting converges on one point: Smith admits he may have been out, following the not-out call early in the series match in Darwin. The different outlets present it as a straightforward acknowledgement by the player, with emphasis on the timing (day one) and the opposing team (Bangladesh).
