There's difference between out of runs and out of form

You've got to have a bit of trust in what you're trying to do: Smith

Australian batting mainstay Steve Smith always knew that he was "out of runs" but never "out of form" as he got back-to-back Test hundreds against India within a week of each other after 18 months of lull.

Having scored his 33rd ton in Brisbane, Smith equalled Sunil Gavaskar's then world record of 34 hundreds on the second day of the fourth Test at the MCG on Friday.

Asked how did he chug along all these days when big runs were not coming that easily, Smith dived deep into his inner core.
