He is on 93......and now on 99, and then 103,with a six and a four. Even if he had the pressure of nervous 90s, he didn't seemed to show that while he was in 90s.

We do love to see those flicks, don't we?
My fav shots from this innings would be those two short balls he played to send the ball to the boundary. 162*, the first test century against india.

The only question everybody asked after Steven smith's recent centuries was, "But can he do it on a turning track in India?"
Well he certainly can and maybe even break their winning streak as well?
