As Australia continue to humiliate England in the Ashes, Aussie skipper Steve Smith had plenty of advice to offer Joe Root.

After beating the visitors in the 2nd Test in Adelaide, Smith advice Root to just trust himself, back himself and do everything he can to help his team grow and be as successful as he can be. 'Sometimes as a captain, you get outplayed by the opposition and there's not a great deal you can do,' added Smith.

Smith returned to leading the Aussies in Test cricket after Pat Cummins was ruled out of the 2nd Ashes Test due to the Covid-19 scare.
