REUTERS: Australia's Steve Smith was impersonating their bespectacled former opening batsman Chris Rogers by donning glasses after winning the fourth test at Old Trafford and not mocking England spinner Jack Leach, coach Justin Langer said on Tuesday.

"Experience tells me, when you're doing well people try and pick holes in you," Langer told reporters."I was there, I know the truth, they were talking about Chris Rogers who was here four years ago and that is actually the truth. "I think everyone in this room, everyone around the world has seen the great spirit the World Cup and this series have been played in. There's been great spirit throughout... People can make of it as they like but that's the truth."While Smith is the leading scorer in the series with 671 runs in three tests, team mate David Warner has struggled, scoring only 79 runs in eight innings with three ducks. However, Langer said he was not worried about the opening batsman's form.
