Top 5 greatest knocks of Steve Smith in international cricket
Smith isn't orthodox, yet has found a thousand ways to score runs and frustrate bowlers.
3) 215 (346) vs England
As mention earlier, Smith loves playing against England. It was in 2015 when Lord’s witnessed something special as Smith’s double hundred was instrumental in a massive 405-run win for the visitors against England. Batting first, Australia racked up a mammoth total of 566/8 before declaring.
Smith scored his first double hundred, combining with Chris Rogers in a stand of 284 for the second wicket. He hit 25 boundaries and a six in his knock which comprised 346 deliveries. This knock is even more special as it came in the “Home Of Cricket”.
Smith ended up scoring a marvellous 215, which is still considered as one of the greatest knocks by a visiting batsman in England. The batting maestro from Australia backed it up by scoring a 58 of just 48 balls in the second innings at Australia went on to beat England by a whopping 405 runs. Thus, his 215 will go down in the record books as an all-time great knock.
