Test batting crown with a superiority contest with whom at this moment, the great captain Viral Kohli opponent. For a couple of years Smith and Kohli the man fight is ongoing. And now proceed Smith, Australia's best batsman in the Test captain. However, Kohli forged what keeps him in the behind? When the success key to India because if you do not! Century in five consecutive Tests against the Smith!
In all, 1066 runs at an average of 88.83 in Tests against India 7. Where his career average of 60.34! 4 of 888 runs in 51 Tests.
Another great Test innings on the third day of the Pune Smith. The Century, 202 four 109-ball innings of 11 runs. Enough for the win in front of a mountain in remote Australia has to stand. India's first Test series win in the fourth innings to be 441 runs. Where more than 418-run chase in Test history to win with good records.
India can not record, Kohli held again in the second innings did not do anything great, he will raise the question for now. Smith, however, so far this test. Earlier in four consecutive Test centuries against India, and four in Australia. 201415 season, India's tour of Australia in Adelaide, Brisbane, Melbourne, Sydney Smith had four Test centuries.
However, it will be a little different than this time. For the first time, the tests on the ground in India. Australia, where Smith's great! The second reason is, it was Australia's first innings of the previous four centuries. This is their second innings in the first innings of the third Test against India in a time had, Ashwin, while spin-Jadeja Dera to become more and more fierce.
Smith received the previous day, however, a three-time life. However, the team's innings at an average of once again taking advantage of it or to take a low-key! On the other partner has repeatedly changed the biggest partnership for the fifth wicket with Mitchell Marsh (56). Renasara-run partnership for the fourth wicket without of 5, 4 Stars, with Hyandasakambera 38, with Wade, but no change and not down Smith and his scored 35.... partner. If I knew, great bowlers bowled in the first innings lead that brought him to the mountains would offer to do anything. As the team captain, as the best batsman in the team.
Not just the team, Smith played really well as a batsman in the world. His success proves rankings.
Ravindra Jadeja sending the ball to deep covers and began running. Is easily one run. Steven Smith ran for a little risk, but with the second run. Australian captain reached three figures with two runs. 18th career Test century, the first on Indian soil. But it is not only because in a separate note well Smith may be another reason. The big turning wicket in the first ball of the first over of the day is, where the Indian batsmen seem to be difficult to bat, Smith, played very well, and there is!
The value of this century to him, it is understood that Smith saw the celebration. Has reached three figures jumped, sat in the Bamdhanahara getting joy. After centuries, however, the high-performance Smith. Jadeja was out leg-before after three over left. The 109 runs beside his name. Australia's second innings century from captain to lead mountainous. Were bowled out for 285 runs in the first session of the third day. With a 155-run first innings lead. India needs 441 runs to win in the fourth innings. India, as well as the history of Test cricket, to score in the fourth innings to win so there is no record of any team.
Smith started the day unbeaten on 59. However, yesterday, swearing Indian fielders got three lives. Murali Vijay dropped him three runs. 9 and 37 substitute fielder Abhinav Mukund gave their lives for him twice. He was successful bowler Ravichandran Ashwin and Jadeja.
Since this morning, however, Smith was playing quite freely.
This is his fifth century against India. Four centuries ago, was the last home series against India, in 015. His remarkable career record against India. 1066 runs at an average of 88.83 in 14 innings. At least one of the batsmen against India scored better than average in the West Indies Everton Weeks (15 innings 106.78) and Zimbabwean Andy Flower (18 innings 94.83).
