Smith 4/1 to carry form to Brisbane

Steve Smith has matured quickly as a Test batsman and is now a crucial pin in Australia's middle order. Back him at 4/1 to be Australia's top batsman in the second Test in Brisbane.

Since the third Ashes Test of 2013, Smith has been in outstanding form, averaging 59.80 across 14 Tests with five centuries. His runs have come against leading Test sides South Africa and England and even on Australia's difficult trip in the Middle East he managed two half-centuries.

Smith enjoyed his first look at the Indian bowling attack with a Test-best 162 not out in the first-innings in Adelaide and followed up with an unbeaten half-century in the second. He is well-placed to follow up with a strong showing in Brisbane.
