Steve Smith was castigated by the English media and fans for supposedly "mocking" Jack Leach by wearing spectacles during the Australian celebrations after they won the 4th Test and retained the Ashes.

Steve Smith scored 293 runs in the Manchester Test to help Australia beat England and retain the Ashes for the first time since 2001.

Australia head coach Justin Langer defended his players' celebration and said, "I was there, I know the truth, they were talking about Chris Rogers".

Jack Leach hit the headlines when he was part of the last-wicket stand with Ben Stokes that won England the 3rd Ashes Test.
