Can Steven Smith surpass Jacques kallis in Number of Test Centuries ?

[javier26]

 

How far do you see him going up in that list ?

 

Theres Joe Root at same number of Tests and William son at 33  , Kohli has fallen behind in the race.

Eventually cream rises to the top. I expect both Root and Smith to score 40+ 100s.

[Bigg Brother]

Can even break SRT's 51. He is freak guy.

[Lord]

Coming after SRT, and deserves it.

[Ultimate_Game]

And Smith's 100s and runs have made a difference. He hasn't scored too many cheap and impactless runs.

If someone attains a second peak that is  a testimony to his lgendary status.

Majority of Smith's career has been a peak. And he has scored tough runs where he was the difference between sides. Not filling his boots with cheap runs.

Most impressive thing about Smith is the quality of his runs. Most of them either matchwinning or in tough conditions.

4 100s in last 5 tests. Won't be surprised if he scores big in WTC final like he did in '23 Oval, he thrives on the big stage.

Forget kallis, 3 more series against Pakistani and he will rack up 6-7 hundreds and target Tendy

If the fatso hadn't shown up in Aus at all, we probably end up retaining the BGT. Plus we wouldn't have Bumrah injured and out of CT.

 

Fatso did more damage than not scoring any run. A random fan picked to play in his place would've done less damage than the fat phuck.

40+ yes. Kallis or Sachin means top quality cricket for atleast 3-4 yrs. Don't see that happening.

[Chakdephatte]

Root is younger. He plays more tests per year. He is more likely to come very close to Kallis in worst case and may even cross Sachin. 

[Sooda]

Smith is probably in the top 10 test bats of all time
