List Of International Cricket Centuries By Steve Smith

Steve Smith is an Australian cricketer and a former captain of the Australian national team. As of January 2024, Smith has played 106 Test and 155 One Day International (ODI) matches for Australia, and has scored 32 and 12 centuries in the respective formats. His batting average of 58.61 is the seventh-highest in Test cricket history.

Smith made his Test debut against Pakistan in July 2010 at Lord's. His first Test century came during the fifth match of the 2013 Ashes series when he scored 138 not out. His highest score of 239 came against the same team during the 2017–18 series at the WACA Ground, Perth. Smith has scored Test centuries at eighteen different cricket grounds, including thirteen at venues outside Australia. In terms of centuries, he has been most successful against England (12) and India(9). As of July 2023, he ranks equal-second in the list of most centuries by an Australian in Tests.

As a result of his involvement in the 2018 Australian ball-tampering scandal, Smith was subsequently banned from all forms of cricket, except club level, for a year in March 2018.

Smith made his ODI debut against West Indies in February 2010. He did not bat in the match but took two wickets for 78 runs. His first century in the format came against Pakistan at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium in October 2014; he was named the man of the match for his match-winning innings of 101.
