Ashes 2023: Steve Smith eyes all-time great status as 100th Test cap looms

The Hindu  

When Australia’s Steve Smith last played a Test match at Headingley, he was just one red-ball cap into his celebrated career and thought of mainly as a leg-spinner. But when Smith takes the field at Yorkshire’s headquarters on Thursday for the third match of the Ashes series, he will be winning his 100th cap as arguably the outstanding batter of his generation. “Batting was what I always wanted to do.” And that is what he has done ever since, scoring more than 9,000 Test runs, including 32 hundreds - the last during Australia’s 43-run win in the second Test at Lord’s last week that left the tourist 2-0 up with three to play in the Ashes campaign. “I said to the boys at one stage ‘welcome to my life’.” Smith misssed the 2019 Ashes Test at Headingley, where England enjoyed a thrilling one-wicket win thanks to Ben Stokes’ astonishing unbeaten hundred, after being concussed by a bouncer from Jofra Archer at Lord’s.
