WE'LL RIDE OUT ASHES STORM, INSISTS SMITH

STEVE SMITH today said he is not bothered by renewed questioning of Australia's cricketing morals after Jonny Bairstow's controversial dismissal at Lord's, and says his experiences of the Sandpapergate scandal can help the tourists weather the storm.

The row over Bairstow's stumping by wicketkeeper Alex Carey on the final day of Australia's Second Test victory has ramped up hostilities ahead of the start of the Third Test at Headingley on Thursday.

The dismissal was entirely within cricket's laws, but both England captain Ben Stokes and head coach Brendon McCullum have said they would have withdrawn the appeal on the grounds of fair play.

Stokes has warned Australia to expect a raucous atmosphere in Leeds as a result, while McCullum believes the incident has "galvanised" his side as they attempt to overturn a 2-0 series deficit.

"Everyone is entitled to their opinion," said Smith. "I know the person I am, I know how I want to go about things.
