Steven Smith blasts the umpire after being stopped for a run


source

Kiwi fast bowler Wagner hit Smith's body with shot pitch balls twice in the same over, the first time the umpire stopped when Smith tried to take a single, this time nobody noticed but the second time it happened again. Smith appeared to be very angry when he did.

The ICC rules say that if the ball hits the striker's body, the run will be taken only if the umpire is satisfied that the batsman either wanted to play the shot or he was shielding himself from falling to the ball. ۔ Both Shane Warren and Adam Gilchrist in the commentary box misidentified the umpire.
