Flat-Track Bully Steve Smith clean bowled through the gate!!

His defective batting technique destroyed again. This time by Nortje.

A good batter should hardly ever be clean bowled. Smith is not a good batter.

Watch for these:

1) The gap between bat and pad.

2) No footwork. FTB does not go forward or back. (His feet are stuck on the crease as his stumps go flying.) He just shuffles a little across his stumps... And most of this shuffling comes after his stumps have already been knocked over.

3) Afterwards, FTB flaps his right hand... He does this hand flapping every time he thinks the ball moved a bit.

Not clear if there was any movement... Maybe a teeny weeny bit??... But in Test cricket there should always be something for the bowler.

Flapping your hands whenever you think the pitch is not completely dead shows you have the mindset of a Flat-Track Bully... to go with the defective technique of a Flat-Track Bully.
