Former England batsman James Taylor says former Australia captain Steve Smith's style 'was pretty ruthless'.

Speaking to 5 live Sport's Eleanor Oldroyd, Taylor revealed: "He was pretty ruthless; rude to his players and certainly to the umpires at times, when I was playing against them.

Smith and former vice-captain David Warner and Cameron Bancroft have been banned by Cricket Australia for a ball tampering incident in the third Test against South Africa.
