^Haan it was very unlucky. I haven't seen anyone get out like that before, so at first I though what are they thinking ? This is not Gully Cricket where Ek tappa out hota hai :P And then I realised that its off BMC's Boots :cantstop:

:haha: This incident happens at around 2:20 in the video - It probably was a Bangla reporter, judging from the fact that the match was in Bangladesh and from the journalist's broken English (No offense) 'What message would you like to give all the supporters? I heard some of the supporters saying that why this always happens to this team, best team, best all-rounders, top 2 best batsmen in ODIs right now, good bowlers... Still, they fail to pass this hurdle. Whenever there is knockout-phase, they're knocked out. Some even suggested that now they must not be called 'chokers', they must be called 'jokers' ... So, what message would you like to give all the fans? Why this happened? Is it a mental thing or.. At this point, you can see the frustration on Smith's face. And he goes, 'Yeah, okay, now I got your question...'
