Australia captain Tim Paine is expecting the "same old Steve Smith" when the star batsman eventually returns to Ashes action.
"Steve Smith's the best player in the world, he will come back in the next Test, if it's the next Test, or the tour game and we're expecting him to be the same old Steve Smith," said Paine.
"He's a high-quality player and he'll adapt as he always has."
"Marnus is strange, he seems to enjoy getting hit on the head, so he's a different kettle of fish altogether. Marnus has handled himself exceptionally, his innings was unbelievable after that happened."
The wicketkeeper added: "Clearly they are huge shoes to fill and we don't put all that pressure on Marnus."

=============================
"Of course this is a huge series and it means so much to all our players, but it doesn't mean that much in terms of someone getting seriously hurt and potentially ruining the rest of their life."
"There was a lot of concern in our dressing-room for his (Smith's) health and it's great to see he's up and about and is fine."
"You get these swings within a big series like this every now and again and when you get your opportunity you've got to jump on it."
