Steve Smith 100th Test: Steve Smith scored a century in Test matches, if he gets out even on zero, he will create history

The third Test match of the Ashes series between England and Australia is being played at Headingley. This competition is special in many ways. But, the most talked about is about Steve Smith, whose Test career this is the 100th match. Smith has become the 15th Australian cricketer to play 100 matches in Test cricket.

After landing at Headingley for the 100th Test match, Steve Smith will try to make his special achievement memorable, which every cricketer aspires to do. But even if Smith does not do so, he will still create history.

Will create history even if out on zero in 100th Test

Now you must be thinking that playing 100th Test is one thing. But, how can one create history in the 100th test even without opening an account. So this will be possible due to the runs scored by Steve Smith in the last 99 Tests. In fact, after 100 Tests, when the list of batsmen who scored the most runs will be made, then even after getting out on zero, Smith will be at number one there.

Official seal awaited on Brian Lara’s broken record

Meaning, he has scored so many runs in his 99 Tests that he is more than the number of runs scored by other batsmen in 100 Tests. The batsman who has scored the most runs after 100 Tests is currently Brian Lara of West Indies. Lara has scored 8,651 runs. While Steve Smith has 9,113 runs only after playing 99 Test matches, that too with the best average of 59.56.
