Steve Smith calls Murali Vijay a 'F***** Cheat'

On the penultimate day of the Australia tour India, captain Steve Smith set the sledging fire again by supposedly calling India batsman Murali Vijay a 'f***** cheat'.

Camera footage showed an angry Smith mouthing some words, after the Indian had claimed a catch off last Australian batsman Josh Hazlewood.

Vijay took the catch in the close-in circle and sprinted off to change into his batting kit, assuming that the Australian innings was over.

On-field umpire Ian Gould gave Hazlewood out but television replays showed that Vijay had grassed the ball before taking it.

However, Australian batting coach Graeme Hick defended Vijay refused to comment on Smith's words.

"I haven't seen that part of it but we have our own little pods watching it and the ball definitely touched the ground," Hick was quoted as saying by the Herald Sun.

It is learnt that the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is not too happy with Smith's behaviour but would not be filing any official complaint.

"It might be 45 minutes in the first game, it might be half an hour, it might be 90. It depends on what game he comes back in and I'm looking back to get Paul back to where I had him about a year ago," Solskjaer said. ...
