Steve Smith recorded the 10,000th test run and put it in an elite cricket company, and Australia won the first test to Sri Lanka on Toss and Batting Wednesday (January 29, 2025), then 145-2. 。
Smith needed one run on Wednesday to achieve milestones. He was not two at lunch with Usman Kawaja, an undefeated 65. In Sydney earlier this month.
Smith became the 15th player in test cricket, became the fourth Australian, and won 10,000 runs in his career. He brought out his milestone with the first delivery, skipped his wick, and punched his single to a mid -on.
Ricky Ponting (13,378), Allan Border (11,174), and Steve Waugh (10,927) are other Australian batters who have recorded 10,000 runs in test carriers. Sachin Tendulkar is the best test scorer in history with 15,921 runs.
The former Kawaja and Travis heads made half a century by making the most of the spin -friendly state in the girl.
On the surface expected to like spinners, Australian batters counterattacked with positive intentions, regularly found the boundaries, and forced to spread the fields in Sri Lanka. In particular, his head felt punished, and only 35 balls reached half a century, and Sri Lanka competed for the answer.
In contrast, Khawaja adopted a more measured approach and played with patience while rotating the strike. Before the head fell to 57, the duo was sewn together with the 92 -run opening stand and was caught in a long off of a pla jayasriya.
Thanks to the sharp catch by Danan Jaya de Silva, Sri Lankan attacked him again when Marnus Love Skany departed for 20 and handed his first wicket to Leg Spinner Jeffrey Vanderse. 。
Smith captains the Australian side when there is no Pat Camins during paternal vacation. Australia has recently won a five -test series for India in Australia.
