Former Australian skipper Steve Waugh is amazed at the form of his current successor. Waugh thinks that Australian captain will re-write the books at the international arena.

Smith has been in phenomenal form in this year but most notably, his unbeaten 141 in Brisbane Test against England took him to another level. This master class innings changed thoughts about him at International level.

“He’s almost going to rewrite the history books the way he is playing, 21 centuries in 57 Tests – and he didn’t do so well in his first 10 or so,” said Waugh. “He’s got an insatiable appetite for runs, a bit like (Sachin) Tendulkar and Ponting. The great players just want to keep scoring runs, they love batting and that’s what he does well.”

There has been a big line-up of Smith’s fan following among the former Australian greats. Talking about his technique, World Cup winning captain quoted “He concentrates well, overcomes plans well and just when you think you’ve got him in a weak moment he’ll find a way out of it.”

The second Test at Adelaide will undergo from tomorrow, which will also mark the first-ever Day/Night Ashes Test.
