David Warner criticises Steve Smith after Smith’s reaction to being given out during Day 3 of Australia’s first Test against Bangladesh. Warner says Smith “can’t do that,” referring to Smith’s review being taken before the umpire raises the finger. The review is shown to be not out, with the sound coming from Smith’s bat hitting the ground.
After the decision overturns the initial call, Smith is eventually dismissed for 44. Australia continues to struggle in the match, and the reports note the team is trailing Bangladesh by 67 runs. Different outlets focus on Warner’s criticism of Smith’s conduct and reaction, rather than challenging the overall sequence of events: the review, the “not out” outcome, and Smith’s later dismissal.
Across the coverage, Warner’s main point is about procedure and timing around reviews, while the match context remains that Australia is under pressure in the Test and Smith’s wicket comes after the incident.
