The legacy of Steve Smith

I am that guy

Because It's correct op

Disappointed this was not an expectations vs reality meme, @shortpitched713

So with Smith at 30 tons, I thought I’d compare the records of other players after they scored 30 tons. Apart from Tendulkar, Dravid, Kallis (~49), Sanga (60) and Waugh (83), all had pretty heavy declines, mostly low 40’s to mid 30’s, with some exceptions. (Hayden 23, Chanders 16). Will be interesting to see how much longer Smith does play, and how his career ends up.

Will Smith play in to late 30s?

 

[shortpitched713]

Should retire mid match very soon, during the course of a big not out knock after declaring, to satisfy Coronis's average preservation fetish.

I hope so, its a joy watching him bat.

I agree, Adam Voges is the second best batsman of all time and I just want Smith to surpass him.

Sundar will.

 

[Coronis]

Sundar will.

Maybe Sarfaraz if he gets a test run.

Maybe Sarfaraz if he gets a test run.

A test at what? Food eating contest?

He's already 54 man. Peaked in the early-mid 90s.

I do see Smith as retiring unexpectedly.

Men in Black is his best work

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Steve Smith is best batsman in Test and Odi Cricket. He is Phenomenal batsman in modern time. he has very good average in all country.

Not in ODIs.

 

[Gob]

Not in ODIs.

Let the man believe

 

[Fuller Pilch]

The underrrating of Herath here is absurd

True

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Will Smith play in to late 30s?

I really hope so. It would be amazing to watch his average drop by more than 20 runs.

I'm more Bad Boys, Independence Day myself

I wouldn’t even be mad, just impressed.

Aussie selectors are ruthless. His average won't fall too much as they'd drop him first.

I doubt it. As we’ve seen with Kohli recently once you’ve achieved a certain level of success in tests for your country it can be pretty hard to get dropped.
