Ind vs Aus 3rd Test | Nice to get three figures...been a while: Steve Smith on century against India on Day 2

The Hindu  

A sense of relief was palpable as Steve Smith sat down for his media interaction at the Gabba on Sunday. The cap low-slung on him, eyes blinking a bit to adjust to the light, and a half-smile creasing his face, the former Australian captain expressed his satisfaction over the ton and for having contributed to the team. Discussing his 101 in the third Test, Smith said: “It was nice to get to three figures. I got a bit of luck early on and made the most of it.” As for his aggressive fellow-centurion Travis Head, Smith said: “If we can sort of get to 30-odd overs when Travis comes in, it makes a big difference to the team. So I was batting out of my crease a little bit, trying to get at the bowler, going across my stance, but leaving my left leg a little bit open,” Smith said.
