स्टीव स्मिथ 35 टेस्ट शतक तक पहुंचने वाले तीसरे सबसे तेज बल्लेबाज बने (लीड-1)
नंबर 4 पर बल्लेबाजी करने आए स्मिथ ने अपनी खास सटीकता और धैर्य का परिचय देते हुए उस्मान ख्वाजा के साथ मजबूत साझेदारी की। 205वीं पारी में 179 गेंदों (10x4, 1x6) पर बनाए गए उनके शतक ने उन्हें सबसे तेज 35 टेस्ट शतक बनाने वालों की सूची में तीसरा स्थान दिलाया है। इस मामले में वे केवल रिकी पोंटिंग (195) और सचिन तेंदुलकर (200) से पीछे हैं। स्मिथ अब 35 टेस्ट शतक बनाने वाले सातवें बल्लेबाज बन गए हैं। वे तेंदुलकर (51), जैक्स कैलिस (45), पोंटिंग (41), कुमार संगकारा (38), राहुल द्रविड़ (36) और जो रूट (36) जैसी विशिष्ट सूची में शामिल हो गए हैं।
उनकी उपलब्धि को उनके कप्तानी रिकॉर्ड ने और बढ़ा दिया है, क्योंकि यह ऑस्ट्रेलिया के कप्तान के रूप में उनका 16वां टेस्ट शतक था। उन्होंने एलन बॉर्डर और स्टीव वॉ को पीछे छोड़ दिया, जिनके नाम 15-15 शतक थे। ऑस्ट्रेलियाई कप्तानों में केवल पोंटिंग (19) ने ही अधिक शतक बनाए हैं। जबकि वैश्विक स्तर पर स्मिथ ग्रीम स्मिथ (25), विराट कोहली (20) और पोंटिंग के बाद चौथे स्थान पर हैं। बल्ले से स्मिथ का दबदबा उनके नेतृत्वकर्ता के रूप में भी देखने को मिलता है, क्योंकि उन्होंने कप्तान के रूप में 4,000 टेस्ट रन पूरे कर लिए हैं, जिसमें उनका औसत 68 से अधिक है - कम से कम 3,000 टेस्ट रन बनाने वाले कप्तानों में डॉन ब्रैडमैन के असाधारण 101 के बाद दूसरे स्थान पर।
