Smithy goes past a couple of notables - Bradman and Hayden - with his century, today.

30 Test Tons. Averaging 60.89

Ricky Ponting's 41 centuries is a record for Australia. Steve Waugh is second, with 32. Steve Smith has 30. Donald Bradman: 29.

Smith has his 30th in just 92 Tests. Ponting took 102 Tests and Waugh 160 Tests to reach that milestone.

Play abandoned on Day 3 without a ball bowled.

Since the only current Australian cricketer with a Test average in India over 33 is SPD Smithman (who averages 60 in India), that's a bit of a disaster, assuming Australia could care less about making the Test "final". Of course, how a team that has won 10 Tests, drawn 3 and lost 1 in the current so-called "Test Championship" could be at risk of missing the final (the 3rd-ranked team, Sri Lanka, has won just 5, lost 4 and drawn 1) is anybody's guess - but there you have it.

Just on Smithman in India, there are only 3 Australian players who have 3 Test centuries in India - Neil Harvey, Michael Clarke and Smithman. It won't surprise anyone who knows anything about cricket to find that Smithman has made his 3 centuries from 6 Tests in India - that is, a hundred there every second Test he's played - whereas Clarke played 13 Tests in India for 3 centuries and Harvey played 8 Tests there for his.

Of course, I expect that you-know-who will tell us that Smithman is actually Bumrah's bunny. Laughing Very Happy Shocked Razz Mad Crying or Very sad Wink
