Smith is OK. He's up and moving around the outside of the rope but he has been replaced by a substitute fielder. Ryan : "Am I missing something? Smith wasn't in contact with the rope when he had the ball, that shouldn't be 6" You have to take off from inside the rope. He was touching it when he jumped.
