Former India bowler Venkatesh Prasad spoke about Smith and Labuschagne's viral post on Twitter, "Can do Thumbs Up toger as well for Allan Border". 

What Allan Border said about Steve Smith? 

A few days back Australian legend had questioned Steve Smith about his thumbs up to Ravindra Jadeja. Speaking to Fox Sports Allan Border told, “Play with a harder edge. I mean, we’re giving blokes thumbs up when y’re beating us outside off stump. What hell is going on? That is just ridiculous. Don’t go stupid, but Australia play hard se cricket. We’re even giving someone thumbs up…bloody hell."

Talking about Australia, y must be under a lot of pressure going into second Test as ir batting lineup was brutally exposed against Indian spinners in Nagpur.
