He’s scored 650 runs in 3 tests. The only difference between both teams is Smith.
It would have been a great series if he was still banned.

Root isn't a captain, isn't a leader and the rest of the side made up of one day/20 over specialists are never test players in a million years.
Well beaten by one of the worst Aussie sides I've seen Smith aside and it isn't good enough.

Aye. It's been a bit of a car crash, from day one. A mish mash side that they've played around with, more in hope than anything else.
Think Root isn't a good captain and going by the tosses, he's not even lucky.

Where are these players though mate? The limited overs formats are the ones which the kids want to play and their techniques are honed in accordance. Test match techniques seem to be a thing of the past.
No mystery. Smith wasn't playing.
....we put on 72 for the last wicket.
That being said, he is obviously the big difference between the sides.
Unfortunately, we have failed to take advantage of promising positions.
I have no idea what Root was doing yesterday when Australia were 44-4. He practically gave Smith another score by bowling Overton and Leach.
