SYDNEY (Reuters) - If Steve Smith was at all irritated by spending the press conference after hitting his third test century on Friday talking almost exclusively about his Australian team mate Brad Haddin, he hid it very well.

Smith's 115 was his second century of the series and helped Australia to finish the opening day of the fifth Ashes test with 326 runs on the board and England already under the cosh at 8-1 as they battle to avoid a 5-0 series sweep.
