Steve Smiths Latest Knock Sparks Fab Four Domination Talk

Steve Smith continues his dominant run in the Test format. Even in the final Test of The Ashes, he has been able to score a ton for the team. This also brings him way too close to Joe Root, who smashed his 41st ton in the same game. Now it remains to be seen whether Smith’s century will come in a winning cause or not.

1. Smith Dominates the Fab Four

Smith has been able to stand 2nd with 37 centuries in the Test format. And it should also be noted that he has played much less innings as compared to Joe Root. This shows the level of consistency of the Australian batsman, who can play according to his techniques across every series. Along with that, 24 of his Test centuries have been against India and England.

With this century, Steve Smith has come closer to a number of records than ever before. It was his 18th Test Century as a captain, which shows his worth to the team. Along with that, he has also scored his fifth Test century at the Sydney Cricket Ground, which puts him just behind Ricky Ponting in the list.

Steve Smith is currently standing at the 2nd spot when it comes to the players with most centuries in The Ashes history. Just a few tons away, and he would be able to get a historic record fully to his name. This series has been monumental for Smith, and also for the fans who watched him play so well even at this age.

2. Smith Shares a Hilarious Moment

Steve Smith also had a hilarious moment while he was batting for the team. There were already some tensions between England and Australia after the second day. Marnus Labuschagne and Ben Stokes went through an argument, and with the new day starting, fans expected to see more fire from both sides.

He called out Brydon Carse and asked him to put his glasses on the back of his hat. The commentators also broke character to this conversation, as it was fully recorded in the stump mic. Following this, Carse had put his sunglasses at the back side of the hat, which allowed Smith to bat without any interruptions.

This is not the only hilarious incident which involved Steve Smith. While attempting to dodge a bouncer, Smith fell down horribly. And what made it funnier was the way in which he fell, and this even made the commentators think what was he doing over there. Smith completely laid down on his back, but he might have rolled himself a bit more than expected.
