Steve Smith's performance at the Gabba continues to be remarkable; his latest century contrasts sharply with recent struggles, marking a return to success against India.
In this different era of Smith, survival has become the side less likely. The last few years, blinking in confusion at having been transported back to the realm of mortals, struggle is the given.
Through his first 30 runs today, into his third hour either side of the lunch break, Smith looked close to falling time and again, a testament to his resilience.
Despite the odds, Smith's century was a result of scrappy, uncertain play, showcasing both his battling spirit and the luck required in cricket.
