In red-hot form, Steven Smith is looking “pretty scary” for the opposition teams, gushed Australia all-rounder Glenn Maxwell after his teammate hammered his second successive century (104) against India on Sunday.

“As he said the other day, he has found his hands, he’s looking pretty scary at the moment for opposition teams. He’s placing the ball as well as anyone. When he puts the foot down, he goes and goes hard,” Maxwell said at the virtual post-match press conference following Australia’s series-deciding win in the second ODI against India.
