One could posit that Smith should have sacrificed himself for the on fire Wade, but Wade deserved to be out for not watching the ball. All up, cricket wasn't the winner.
Smith has to be rested for the 3rd T20I. Don't mind getting whitewashed. Suffer now and live the rest of your lives as champions!!

Not focused. Switched to immediately dealing with his own disappointment perhaps that he was "going" to be out, rather than watching the ball/thinking ahead.
That's cricket 101! :shocked: Wade should presumably know better, being a top level cricketer at and all! (He's never been the sharpest tool in the shed though).
As a batsman, you should complete the run & not assume the catch will be effected. There is a lesson there & we will never know how costly it was in impacting on the match result.

I assume he was looking to cross but should not have mattered at that stage of the innings

That's cricket 101! Shocking play by three pro cricketers (albeit Kholi redeeming himself with the runout)

I don’t know why Wade threw a dirty glance at Smith. Wade could have kept running towards Smith’s end.

In baseball, Wade would have been out under the infield fly ball rule.

Both at fault surely, ball watching whilst standing in the middle of the pitch! :laughing:

Wade is not a bright cricketer , a little more awareness and no run out and Australia may have won that match as it came down to two balls

Never a run in it.
