Derby (UK), Aug 31: Australia captain Tim Paine feels Steve Smith's return could be decisive in Australias quest to retain the Ashes. On the fourth day of the Lord's Test, Smith retired hurt on 80 after being hit on the neck by a 92.4 mph delivery from Jofra Archer. He returned to make 92, but was ruled out the next day due to delayed concussion which kept him out of the third Test at Headingley.

"Without Steven Smith playing I don't think we were given any chance of winning that Test match, so without Steve Smith playing I think most people wrote us off in that Test, so we're tracking ok," Paine was quoted as saying by ESPNCricinfo.
