Steve Smith바카라™s love affair with Lord바카라™s reached historic heights on Day 1 of the World Test Championship final against South Africa, as the Australian maestro etched his name atop another honours board. In front of a sun-dappled crowd at the Home of Cricket, Smith not only brought up yet another fluent half-century but also shattered a long-standing record to become the highest run-scorer among visiting Test batters at the venue.
Smith surpassed fellow Australian Warren Bardsley바카라™s mark of 575 runs at Lord바카라™s 바카라” a milestone that stood for over a century 바카라” and in doing so, left behind none other than the iconic Sir Donald Bradman, who had amassed 551 runs in just eight innings at this hallowed ground.
The 36-year-old now stands alone with a tally that reflects both longevity and unmatched quality, underlined by three fifties and two centuries at Lord바카라™s, including a career-best 215 in the 2015 Ashes.
The significance of this feat grows further when placed in the broader canvas of his performances across England. Smith now boasts 18 fifty-plus scores in Tests on English soil 바카라” more than any other visiting player in history.
He has eclipsed legends like Allan Border and Sir Vivian Richards (17 each), with Sir Don Bradman and Sir Garfield Sobers a touch behind on 14 apiece.
On a pitch doing plenty and against a South African attack brimming with intent, Smith바카라™s knock was an exhibition in balance, shot selection, and mental fortitude.
