Gilbert Jessop’s 123-Year-Old Record Under Threat from Jamie Smith
This England-India series has witnessed the phenomenal rise of Jamie Smith as a batsman. His performances have sparked discussions about playing him purely as a specialist batter and relieving him of wicketkeeping duties so he can focus entirely on his batting. His scores in the series so far — 40, 44*, 184*, 88, and 51 — are the kind any top-order batter would be proud of.
On Day Three of the second Test at Edgbaston, Smith was at his best. The 24-year-old smashed an unbeaten 184 — the highest score by an England wicketkeeper in Test history. So dominant was his innings that he even took 23 runs off a single over bowled by Prasidh Krishna.
