Quote:
Steve Smith underlines Test quality with flawless double century against West Indies in Perth
Steve Smith has made a little bit more cricket history, matching Sir Donald Bradman with his 29th Test century on day two of the series opener against the West Indies in Perth.

....

Only Sachin Tendulkar and Bradman himself have reached 29 Test hundreds in fewer innings than Smith.

Smith has his nose ahead of contemporary superstars like Joe Root (28), Virat Kohli (27) and Kane Williamson (24), and he's now fifth on the all-time Australian rankings in terms of Test tonnage.

With one more he will equal legendary opener Matthew Hayden, who reached 30 in 103 Tests, so Smith (playing his 88th) has plenty of time to eclipse him.

Ahead of Hayden are only Steve Waugh with 32 and Ricky Ponting with 41, with both players veterans of a whopping 168 Tests.

So far, Smith is making a century every 3 Tests. Ponting made a century every 4 and a bit Tests and Steve Waugh a century every 5 and a bit Tests. Tendulkar made a century every 4 Tests (51 from 200 Tests). Viv Richards made 1 every 5 Tests.

"Smith has conquered far more threatening bowling attacks that this West Indies one, yet this latest milestone is a reminder of his generational brilliance.

Only Sir Donald Bradman (79 innings) and Sachin Tendulkar (148) have needed fewer hits than Smith (155) to get to the 29 Test hundreds milestone.

It is a significant number because that is the amount the incomparable Bradman finished with after his 52 Tests.

That Smith has gotten there quicker than Matthew Hayden (166), Ricky Ponting (169), and Steve Waugh (244) – the only other Australians to have reached 29 centuries – only adds to the argument he is Test cricket's greatest batter since Bradman.

No active player has more Test hundreds than Smith."
