Smith's modes of dismissal, since taking over from Warner at the end of the Pakistan series...
LBW - 3
Bowled - 1
Caught (keeper) - 1
Caught (other) - 1
not out - 2
Of 6 completed innings, he's been LBW 3 times - and bowled in a 4th.
From memory (which may be wrong), he was bowled behind his legs, having moved too far to the off-side and exposing his stumps.

Smith has an unbelievably good eye. Better than HawkeyeI believe all three LBWs were unsuccessfully reviewed as well?
Sort of...I believe all three LBWs were unsuccessfully reviewed as well?
Sort of...
So... all 3 were reviewed, and all 3 decisions went against Smith - but Smith was only the instigator for 2 of them.
- The 2x LBW decisions in the 2nd NZ test were both reviewed unsuccessfully, by Smith.
- The LBW decision in the 2nd Windies test was initially given not out, reviewed by the bowling team, and changed to out.
I'm getting this information from the Cricinfo scoreboards for those matches (click on the DRS link, in the Fall of Wickets list for each innings):

Jeff Thomson: The man who could knock your head off with a cricket ball
“Aww, mate, I just shuffle up and go wang.” “He frightened me, and I was sitting 200 yards away” The first quote was Jeff &l .www.sportskeeda.com
You might have this confused with a different game.Many years ago I went to the Adelaide test vs India with my late father and saw Thommo and Lillee when at the top of their game, Lillee was blinding fast but Thommo was something else with his slinging action. I will never forget when the then Indian captain Bishen Bedi strode out to the wicket turban atop his head. I reckon that was about the only place Thommo didn't hit him.
From memory Bedi only lasted less than an over before retiring hurt, I genuinely believe he feared for his life though maybe he was just protecting his spinning fingers for when they had to bowl. I favour the former.
Maybe I'm confused about the particular game but Thommo definitely bowled to Bishen Bedi and hit him in the body numerous times late in the innings,.
Warner I can sort of understand.They made the excuse that they couldn't fit McGurk in because they had an abundance of openers... but then managed to find room for Warner. Contradiction, much?
Green, Ellis and Agar are duds.T20 World Cup squad. They left Steve Smith out but went for a pretty unadventurous squad otherwise.

Stoinis did finally get his first IPL 100 recently and has been decent enough with the ball, but I don't think we needed him and Green. Just pick one.Warner I can sort of understand.
But Stoinis hasn't done anything for Australia in a while and has been very up and down domestically/"on the circuit". And Cam Green has never shown any particular aptitude for T20, much less internationally.
All the Australian games are at about 10/10:30AM CST/EST times except for the England game which will be 4AM. Which could be worse I guess.The games will at be at unwatchable times I'm assuming
Cricket Australia were clearly only interested in tanking his eligibility for ItalyNo Spencer Johnson? No that other guy that plays for the Heat that carted the Strikers in the finals?
The squad has pre-emptive "You didn't think we were actually trying!?" energy for an early eliminationStoinis did finally get his first IPL 100 recently and has been decent enough with the ball, but I don't think we needed him and Green. Just pick one.
Wade is the selection I did not see coming, hasn't done much in T20 since our last WC and is clearly near retirement anyway. Would prefer the stronger batsman in Short, who can then also give us another spinning option.
All but the games are at about 10/10:30AM CST/EST times except for the England game which will be 4AM. Which could be worse I guess.

The Perth test from the same series has India declaring with Bedi having faced 3 balls. The declaration came mid-over while Thomson was bowling. I suspect this is the one, it has a real "retired in terror" vibe to it.
Edit: And from the news report "Although the clock was far from being on his side, Bedi declared because he did not want to risk injury to himself or Chandrasekhar."
