Quote

Smith has scored 1000+ Test runs in 4 consecutive years from 2014 to 2017
1000+ runs in most successive calendar years:
5 Matthew Hayden (2001-05)
4 Steve Smith (2014-17) *
3 B Lara (2003-05)
3 K Pietersen (2006-08)
3 M Trescothick (2003-05)

 

[Ggggghgggggg]

And still people argue Kohli is better because he hits more runs in McDonalds cricket...

[gattaca]

No sachin, dravid or gavaskar in that list.

[Gollum]

I fear this freak will get 1000+ runs against us next year.

Honestly, i hate to see this guy....

But he is doing something no batsmen did it....

I still dont understand what is working for him to be this successful....

Does he have a better hand-eye co-ordination than sehwag?

awesome consistency,this guy is legit great

In Tests,there is no doubt on who is the best. Smith is miles ahead.

 

In LoIs its the other way around.

Not that straightforward. What Smith did in 2015 WC has been done by no other player.

[jalebi_bhai]

With 4 games to play against us at home next year, I back him to go a 5th consecutive year as well. 

 

Bonafide ATG. 

[Turning_track]

No words to describe him. Amazing consistency he has. So comfortable out there atm and playing with such ease.

he still did it at home.

Ironic that hayden is the top guy on the list. Because Smith is very much in his mold - outright FTB. Once the hand-eye coordination goes, fall is going to be quick.

Has 3 consecutive 100s in India especially last series when there were some raging turners.

 

100s in Srilanka where the pitches where again result oriented

 

200 and a 100 in England

 

100 In Nzl

 

100 in wi(for what it’s worth)

 

100 in South Africa 

 

obviously + all the zillion runs he  scored at home which apparently don’t count.

 

Most if these in the last 2-3 years

India : 1st hundred - gift from indian fielders; 2nd hundred - patta; 3rd hundred was the only decent one. 

 

Rest are whatever. Hayden also scored away from home btw - 2001 series was far better than anything Smith has done till now or is likely to do. I guess at the end of 2005, people were saying Hayden is the GOAT in the similar vein right?

So who according to you is the best test batsman in the world right now? 

[Ggggghgggggg]

He has averaged 70+ for the last 4 years.

Only Root and Kohli will be counted amongst the greats once it is all said and done from the current lot.
