Adding another feather to his cap, star batter Steve Smith on Thursday equalled Steve Waugh`s record of 32 Test centuries for Australia on Day 2 of the second Ashes 2023 Test against England at Lord`s.
Smith now has only Ricky Ponting, who has scored 41 centuries, in his sights on Australia`s all-time Test ton scoring charts. Moreover, playing his 174th innings in his 99th Test, Smith is the fastest to reach the 32-ton mark.
