Steve Smith took another contender for catch of the summer with an extraordinary diving effort on the final day of the Fourth Test.
With his side facing widespread criticism for its poor fielding in the series against India, Smith inspired his teammates by snaffling a one-handed catch at slip to dismiss Rohit Sharma for 39.
The screamer brought the SCG crowd to its feet and was almost immediately compared to a classic catch he took in the Gabba Test.

It was also a pivotal breakthrough for the Aussies as they battle for victory agaist a stubborn Indian batting line-up.
Australia are seeking a third win in the four-Test series, having reclaimed the Border-Gavaskar trophy with a draw in Melbourne.
