Is he the fastest to 30 test tons???

Is he the fastest to 30 test tons???

I think Sachin still has him covered by a couple of innings

I'm no Wendy Wimbush but he was 2nd fastest to 25 after The Don so I'd say yes.

Little f**king merkin!!

That's actually no, as per baldzal,Tendulkar just shaded him.

I could be wrong, I just googled it to be fair lol. And got a different set of results the second time that I haven't looked at. But it said Sachin was 159 and I think this is Smith's 161st innings?

 

[AlwaysGreen]

I googled as well and you look at Bradman's record and he is so far ahead of everyone else it crazy.

Bit like the raiders and the rest season 2023

 

[The Mad Hatter]

Tendulkar got 51 test tons in 200 tests.

Smith has 30 test tons in 92 tests.

Double that and add 20 and you’ve got plenty of Cricinfo trolling fodder.

 

[AlwaysGreen]

If Khawaja doesn't get at least 200 here I will regard it as a failure and curse him forever

2/20*

I saw on farcebook the other day Indians saying Kholi, Tendulkar and Gavaskar were better than Bradman because he barely ever played India

I legit saw some Indians on an FB page arguing that Bradman was worse than Tendulkar and Kohli because he played on uncovered wickets.

Like....

Uncovered pitches.
Back foot no balls.
8 ball overs.
100 overs in a day.
120m boundaries . Sixes only over the fence.
tooth pick bats.
no helmets.
And you seen the ‘gloves’ they wore and the buckle pads that weighed two ton in sweat?
Tendulkar and Kohli never got tested.

The only real advantage Bradman had was the LBW rule, otherwise those Imbeciles are pulling their puds.
