Warner shuts 負かす/撃墜する talk of 早期に 退職

David Warner has rubbished suggestions he and Steve Smith are gearing up for their last 実験(する) match, labelling (人命などを)奪う,主張するs they are 始める,決める to retire すぐに at The Oval as a joke.

Australia are 準備するing for their biggest match in four years this week, desperate to become the first tourists since Steve Waugh's men in 2001 to 勝利,勝つ the Ashes in England.

That rumour was その上の perpetuated by former England captain Michael Vaughan on Tuesday, who said on Fox Cricket he had heard it would be the pair's last 実験(する).

The comments have raised eyebrows in Australia's change room, with Warner 熱心に 否定するing the suggestion when 前線ing the マスコミ ahead of Thursday's 実験(する).

"And Smithy (is retiring) too 明らかに. So 明白に it's a joke," Warner said.

"I won't take that too 本気で ... I don't have an 告示."

Warner has already flagged his 意向 to retire after the SCG 実験(する) against Pakistan in January, and 確認するd on Tuesday there had been no change to that 計画(する).

The 36-year-old also made (疑いを)晴らす there had been no consideration of going out 早期に at The Oval, as his former captain Michael Clarke did eight years ago.

"No, not at all," Warner 答える/応じるd when asked if he had considered retiring すぐに.

"This is about us as a team. And if we 勝利,勝つ, it's about a team celebrating and that's what we're here for.

"For me it's about winning the series. I (機の)カム here last time - it was a draw. Hopef 完全に we can go away with a series 勝利,勝つ and then that'll be a fitting Ashes (選挙などの)運動をする for us.

"We're here as a group and we're 部隊d and hopefully we can 達成する that."

Warner 譲歩するd on Tuesday he had left runs on the field during this Ashes series, having 普通の/平均(する)d 25.12 with a 最高の,を越す 得点する/非難する/20 of 66.

But he also 持続するs that he has batted with the 権利 attacking approach, valuing the fact he and Usman Khawaja had put on three half-century 開始 stands.

While Warner has been (疑いを)晴らす in his 退職 計画(する)s, Smith has long 辞退するd to give anything 最終的な on his 未来.

The 34-year-old said earlier this month he was still enjoying the game and had no 計画(する) to walk away while still 得点する/非難する/20ing runs.

"While I am enjoying myself and feel like I can 改善する and 与える/捧げる to the team, and feel good about helping the team, then I will keep playing," Smith said after the second 実験(する).

"(What's left to 達成する) is not really part of my thinking. I am feeling good at the moment, so no 演劇s here."
