Ashes: Steve Smith Moves Up In Record Books With 37th Test Ton
Sydney Cricket Ground: Australia's stand-in captain Steve Smith raised his 37th Test hundred on Day 3 of the fifth and final Ashes match at the Sydney Cricket Ground (SCG) and moved up in record books on Tuesday.
Smith brought up his 100 after running three off a shot to fine leg off the bowling of Jocob Bethell. It made for great scenes at the SCG, a happy hunting ground, as he took off his helmet, raised his bat and soaked up all the applause. His wife in the crowd applauded him. He is currently batting on 110 off 178 balls.
This was Smith's 13th Ashes ton, with only Don Bradman (19) producing more. It also marked Smith's first ton of this series. With this, the veteran batter became the second-highest run-scorer at the SCG with 1206 runs, with former skipper Ricky Ponting topping the chart with 1480 runs and also second in the list of all-time Test centuries at the SCG.
