Follow UsConsidered to be one of the greatest batters of all time, Steve Smith over the years has produced some brilliant performances as a fielder. Earlier today (December 7), he took a stunning one-handed catch to get rid of a well-set Will Jacks.
He then took the final catch of England's second innings in the second Test in Brisbane to not just give Michael Neser his maiden fifer, but also equal Rahul Dravid's tally of most catches by a non-wicketkeeper in Test cricket.
Smith now has 210 catches in Tests, which is as many as the Indian great and just three behind Joe Root.

205 - Mahela Jayawardene
Moreover, Smith also beat Greg Chappell's long-standing record of registering the most catches at home by a fielder against a single opposition.

Australia are poised to complete another easy win in Brisbane and go 2-0 up in the five-match Ashes series. They bowled England out for just 241, meaning they need just 65 in the fourth innings to claim victory.
