Talk about Smith "hoping" to be fit but i don't think he should be allowed to play.
They have said he was concussed (by asking for a concussion replacement) and the ICC guidelines say that a concussed player should not play again for 5 days.
Which would rule him out of the first two days of the third test.
Either he was concussed as claimed or they got a replacement they shouldn't have been allowed, can't have it both ways.
Quite agree. In a situation like this, wise heads should remember that while it's an important game coming up, it is still only a game. Not worth the risk.
