Austra­lia skippe­r Smith all but writes of Englan­d’s chance­s of retain­ing AshesSYDNEY: Australia captain Steve Smith thinks England will struggle to get back into the Ashes series after losing in Adelaide to trail 2-0 heading into next week’s third Test in Perth. Australia beat England by 120 runs in second Ashes Test“It’s always tough coming back from 2-0 down, particularly when you’re away from home,” said Smith. “You’re really only one or two bad sessions away from the series, really. “I think the exciting thing is our bowling group can only get better,” Starc told reporters on arrival at Sydney airport. “Josh does what he does and allows Pat and I to bowl as fast as we want.”Smith said he was keen for his bowlers and batsmen to get some rest before the next Thursday’s Perth Test.
