Having entered the series under scrutiny for poor form and being century-less for over a year, Smith got some respite with a century at the third Test in Brisbane, which saw him grind and play some scratchy cricket on his way to the century.

During a crucial MCG Test, Smith continued his consistent Boxing Day Test record, slamming a dominant 139* in 194 balls, with 13 fours and three sixes at a strike rate of over 71 and in 55 innings. In 23 Tests against India, he has made 2,305 runs at an average of 64.02, with 11 centuries and five fifties. His best score is 192.
