Smith laments lack of runs after first Ashes home Test loss for 15 years

England came out on top of a seesawing contest at the Melbourne Cricket Ground played on a grassy bowler-friendly deck that made batting treacherous and was all over inside two days. After being dismissed for 152 in their first innings, Australia managed only 132 in their second to leave England with 175 to chase for victory. They got over the line with four wickets to spare. "Obviously, a very quick game," Smith said. "I think if we got 50 or 60 more runs across both innings, we might have been there at the end, but, credit to England.
