(SOUNDBITE) (English) AUSTRALIAN CRICKET STAND-IN CAPTAIN, STEVE SMITH, SAYING: REPORTER: "I read the other day that Monty Panesar spoke about how he wants the English game to make you feel guilty about what happened in Cape Town." SMITH: "I'm going to go off topic for a second here. Who of you in the room has seen Mastermind, and Monty Panesar on that? Any of you? Those of you that have you'll understand where I'm coming from and those of you who haven't do yourself a favour because it is pretty comical. Anyone who believes that Athens is in Germany, that's a start, Oliver Twist is a season of the year, and America is a city, it doesn't really bother me those comments. That's as far as I'll go with that one." STORY: TO FOLLOW
