David Warner criticizes Steve Smith's review decision in Bangladesh Test
Summary

David Warner has criticized Steve Smith for calling a review prematurely during Australia’s Test against Bangladesh on August 15. Smith signaled for a review before umpire Kumar Dharmasena raised his finger, which led to confusion as replays confirmed he was not out. Smith was eventually dismissed for 44 runs, and Australia finished the day trailing Bangladesh by 67 runs with just four wickets remaining. Earlier in the innings, Smith had nearly walked back after an appeal for caught behind, which was ultimately not given out after a review showed no edge.
