Steve Smith stats against Bangladesh:-
2 games 4 innings 119 runs @ 29.75 avg with 1 50+ score
Smith never got a chance to statpad against small teams,faced Ban way back in 2017, hopefully this time he can statpad a few runs.
After a long time I'll be watching Smudge batting, couldn't watch 1st match.
Don't let us down Smudge馃檹
馃毃 Milestone :- SPD Smith completed 5000 away test runs (excluding Neutral venues) during 1st match of SA Series.
Stats in Away test:- 5006 runs in 56 matches @ avg of 53.82 including 17 100s and 20 50s.
Most Away Test runs in winning cause:-
Ricky Ponting 2946 runs in 37 matches with avg of 51.68 including 10 100s and 10 50s
SPD Smith 2840 runs in 25 matches with avg of 72.82 including 12 100s and 10 50s
It's genuinely insane how Smith has worked on his technique throughout his career.
Improvement in his technique has been insane.
Earlier he used to bat like a proper tailender.
Saw just one ball during the entire match, and Smith got out on that very delivery.
Life is too hard to enjoy.
#2 ICC Test Ranked Batsman at the age of 37.
We're lucky to witness the consistency of SPD Smith.
All these things happened due to WTC.
Teams want result of the game for WTC qualification so they started preparing tough pitches also they know batting quality post Covid has dipped magnificently so they want to take the advantage else we would still see 500-600+ scores..
