  • Steve Smith has been a revelation in modern times and the records speak for himself.

    He has made it a habit of scoring big runs and helping Australia win matches.

    With 6,973 runs at 64.56, Smith has the second best Test average after Bradman.

    Smith contributes close to 20% of Australia's Test runs.

    That's a significant contribution.

    The impact of contributions
  • In Tendulkar's time especially in the 2000s, India had the luxury of several legends alongside him like Rahul Dravid, VVS Laxman, Sourav Ganguly and Virender Sehwag to get those runs collectively.

    The current Aussie team is over reliant on Smith and do not have well equipped batsmen.

    So naturally, Smith's contributions become more important.

    Bradman was above everyone else in his era.

  • Greatest ever

    Bradman is the greatest ever to grace the sport

  • Bradman is the arguably the greatest ever to grace the game of cricket.

    There can be nobody that will ever reach his heights.

    One of them was Tendulkar, whose run-scoring delights stood out.

    Smith has definitely earned his name amongst the greatest Test batsmen and is special talent.
