Smith must be frustrated. The replays of the catch were not conclusive and in one of the angles looked like a catch and another, the left hand covered the right, which caught the ball. The movement of the left hand left some doubt about the authenticity of the catch. So, finally, it was a fair decision. But today, no player would put his reputation at risk when the replays are sure to come in for the final decision. Maybe CSmith had another brain fade???
Hick's explanation of Vijay's appeal is perfect. Many a time, the fielder him self does not know if it was a clean catch or not, so they go upstairs. The Aussies don't seem to know the basics of what happens on the field.
Aussies are regulars in doing such pranks while losing a series. They are cribbers since long time. They should learn graciousness from the West Indies even while losing. Aussie kids still a long way to go .....in Behaviour World cup or Fair play cup they will lose in the first round itself....
MY TAKE ON THIS IS SMITH WAS FRUSTRATED. HE DIDN'T SPOKE THOSE WORDS ON THE FIELD NOR HE GAVE A PUBLIC STATEMENT. IT WAS JUST AN ANGER AND FRUSTRATION. SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN OVERPLAYED?
I am surprised that the umpires thought it fit to call Rahane and Jadeja for a chat rather than reprimanding Wade. Very strange that the culprits always get away while the innocent are forced to answer. This is the problem with these white skinned umpires who are terribly biased. By the way, where is the match referee?

You are being blatantly racist. "White skinned" what the heck! Theyare OK when their decisions go India's way, else they are "terribly biased". Do not for one moment think the Indian players are babes in the wood when it comes to sledging. They have been rated in the forefront of International cricket for sledging. Taking out the tricolor and supporting India is one thing but being racist when things do not go the way you think is in bad taste.

The IPL franchises are also biased. Out og the right teams 5 have white-shinned skippers. The Pune Supergiant should immediately remove Stefan Smith as their captain.
