During his knock of 66 off 112 balls, laced with ten boundaries, Smith went past fellow Australian Warren Bardsley\u2019s tally of 575 runs in seven innings, coming at an average of 115, to achieve this humungous feat at the venue historically known as the \u2018Home of Cricket\u2019.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Smith has also surged past legendary batter Don Bradman, who had amassed 551 runs in his eight innings at Lord\u2019s. Before the 2025 WTC final, Smith, 36, had previously hit three fifties and two centuries at the historic venue, with the highest individual score of 215 coming during the second Ashes Test against England in 2015.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Smith\u2019s knock also helped Australia recover from being reduced to 67\/4 at lunch after South African seamers Kagiso Rabada and Marco Jansen wreaked havoc by picking two wickets each. Smith also stitched an important 79-run partnership for the fifth wicket with all-rounder Beau Webster to revive Australia\u2019s innings, before being caught at slip off part-time off-spinner Aiden Markram\u2019s bowling.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
With his knock of 66, Smith now has four hundreds and a fifty in his last six Tests for Australia. That all-important knock also ensured Smith has become the first and only batter to post multiple fifty-plus scores in the WTC finals.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Smith now holds the record for scoring the most fifty scores in Test matches played on English soil by a non-English batter.
