Steve Smith has hit back at claims he was "terrorised" by Jofra Archer by questioning when the England bowler actually got the better of him in the last Ashes series.
England's bowler has been ruled out of this year's series as he deals with a recurrence of the stress fracture in his right elbow, which will keep him out for the entirety of the summer. It is a blow to the hosts, who are aiming to regain the urn, which they haven't held since 2017.
Smith was crucial in Australia's victory on foreign soil when they last visited four years ago. The batsman, who was regularly ridiculed by the home crowd due to his involvement in a ball-tampering scandal, went on to be named Player of the Series having scored more runs than anyone.
