Australia sledging doesn't cross line - Smith
Australia's captain, Steven Smith, has denied his team veered into inappropriate personal territory during their first Test sledging of England's players
Smith hopes to get in Root's head
Steven Smith has added to the pressure on his opposite number by suggesting Australia will continue to target a perceived weakness for lbw that has crept into Joe Root's game. Root fell twice in that manner at the Gabba and Smith suggested it was to Australia's advantage for the issue to be "going through his head" when the second Test begins.
"It was nice our plans [for Root] worked," Smith said. "I read something on Twitter the other day about a trend that's been occurring with him since the start of 2016. He's got out lbw a lot.
"It's nice we are able to open up that side of his bat and I saw him working on it in the nets the other day so he's trying to fix those issues. That's tough to do in the middle of the series. So we'll have some things going through his head out in the middle. That's something we can play on out in the middle as well."
