Steve Smith Is The Best Modern-day Test Match Player, Says Vaughan
Steve Smith: Former England captain Michael Vaughan heaped praise on Steve Smith, suggesting that his achievement puts him in a rare category, one that invites comparisons with the legendary Don Bradman, after the right-handed batter became only the fourth Australian batsman to surpass 10,000 runs in Test cricket.
Smith crossed the milestone during Australia’s first innings against Sri Lanka in the opening Test at Galle on Wednesday. Smith now joins the legendary Allan Border, Steve Waugh, and Ricky Ponting as the only Australians to have achieved this feat. Moreover, he becomes just the 15th cricketer in the world to reach this landmark, underscoring his dominance in the longest format of the game.
“I would argue that he is the best modern-day Test match player. I think he is the best problem solver. He has a quirky technique, but he just seems to be able to pick the ball out of the bowler’s hand quicker than most. He has this amazing ability to study the field and work out what is on and what is not on any given day on a pitch,” Vaughan told Fox Cricket.
