Meh. Needed two bowlers to achieve it. Pathetic.

Wrong thread mate.
Meaningless and stupid cricket statistics
I alluded to this in one of the Australia-India threads last night. In cricket there are certain figures that people love to use to prove how good or bad a player is that, if you think about it, don't really prove or tell you anything. My least favourite is the old 'player x only averages y if...

Just to show how Smith has tapered off, he was the fastest to 7,000 and 8,000 runs and 2nd fastest to 9,000 runs behind Sangakarra.
He now has 9,685 runs from 195 innings so the best he can do is be 5th fastest to 10,000 if he can get 315 runs within his next 10 innings.
(amazingly the fastest to 10,000 is 195 innings shared by Lara, Tendulker and Sangakara. Ponting is 4th with 196 innings and Dravid 5th with 206)

Obviously Bradman has the biggest gaps in these.
5000 - 56 innings vs 91 (Hobbs)
6000 - 68 innings vs 111 (Sobers, Smith)
Third highest is Sanga
12000 - 224 innings vs 247 (Tendulkar)
Aside from Bradman at 3000 and 4000 there are no other double digit gaps.
Only 12 batsmen aside from Bradman have crossed 4000 runs in their first 80 innings, none reaching 4500. 5 of them are openers. (Gavaskar doesn’t make it)

Well Ponting ended up at 51.85 but at the same point of their careers Ponting was averaging 58.75 to Smith's current 56.64

You could argue that Ponting had a much stronger technique to fall back on too for when the body starts to fade. Smith's reliance on his hand/eye coordination already seems in jeopardy.

Does Smith play another 50 or so tests though like Ponting did?

With that duck, his average dropped below 3 old no-names (Hobbs, Walcott, & Hutton) as well as the great Harry Brook.
