Brisbane, There was a tradition that the batsmen left the crease voluntarily after being out but this tradition is now finished. Australian captain, Steven Smith confessed that ball touched his bat and went to the wicket keeper, who took the catch but he did not guess, what has happened and they did not appeal for his being caught behind the wicket.
Various batsmen of the past were got out and they started walking to the pavilion. Pakistani leading batsman, Majid Khan was very famous for this volunteer action. Among the present cricketers, Younis Khan also does the same but it is not happened now. Smith gave an interview that there was noise in the cricket ground but the ball touched his bat and the voice of the ball can be heard clearly. He did not look back so the umpire and fielders did not suspect over it. He talked with his colleague batsman on the other end and he showed his wonder over it. But he continued his batting and completed his century. What happened is for the good.
