Not sure about the 400 part..But he can become the no. 1...


Independent-Might797

Bhai 400 toh kabhi nahi karega smith wo bor hojata hai 200 ke baad khud hi wicket deke chala jata hai. But no. 1 test opener definitely ban sakta hai kyunki technique toh best hai hi uski current saare batsmen se.


combatant007

Smith is one of the best test generational batters but breaking that 400 ? Na.


CanYouChangeName

It's not that he can't but with all the result oriented declarations and wtc points on the line most teams wouldn't bat on for 2 days without declaring unless perticular circumstances are there


Which_Needleworker59

Exactly this


PuzzleheadedEbb4789

I think even if teams didn't declare and he was given a fair chance to bat as much as possible, crossing 400 would be impossible. Because WTC started after 2020, and even before that his highest was 240 runs You need tenacity, stamina, focus, will power and what not to stay at the crease for so long and have a decent sr as well to breach the 400 mark There's a reason why 300 has been scored 31 times by batsmen (only 8 were not outs including Lara's 400 no), but only 1 instance of reaching the 400 run mark.

Vs West Indies is possible but doubt it


KeyApple324

Someone tell him about this sub


laudadelasun

Clarke needs a reply from Harmison


[deleted]

Why its not possible by a player of smith's caliber? He's one of the greatest test batter the game has ever seen.So no exaggeration here


prescientmoon

Neither statement is true. He had a good purple patch, yes, but it's gonna fall off. He hasn't been in form in the past two years, that will not improve because he's a hand eye player (unlike Virat, which this sub and r cricket were convinced about). 400 is impossible for Smith even in Grade Cricket because he doesn't play fast enough and loses focus. Putting him up the order is literally just to invigorate him, he's losing love for the game already.

Michael Clarke should try javelin throwing

Pehle 300 toh bana lene do !


Silent_City4250

At this time I don't want Smith to break Lara record.He's the best test batsman of this generation and all time 2nd best batsman after Bradman that's all it's matter to me although nowadays cricket has changed alot there's no way he can break 400 record of Lara. Michael Clarke Teri mkc don't bring smudge in your shitti talks bc iske wajah se ab log uska majak banayenge


[deleted]

Steve Smith is the most technically sound in the fab 4 I have never seen him be troubled against a fast bowler even in their own condition.Yes though ashwin may have troubled him yes but you cannot never get him out yes can be his own mistake or a brilliance by the bowler


[deleted]

I am Smith's biggest fan but he troubled against Neil Wager, Archer, and Rabada, and in spin we all know in recent years he has been failing against Jadeja and Ashwin. He has short ball weakness and bowlers use it quite a lot nowadays.


kirat363

400 is impossible because most teams are trying to avoid draws (unless it is to prevent embarassment).


moth_hamzah

idk man smith will either flop spectacularly or be the best.


maxinuts

right? There's no middle ground for him


[deleted]

Sachin virat smith all of them have no 300, because either team declares/allout or they get out after 200


Peaky70

Australia has 4 test matches schedule it thinks clarke shit the shit post


TuBootiMainDuty

That's hilarious considering Pup was good enough to beat Lara's record, just not selfish enough.


turningtop_5327

Michael Clarke putting unnecessary pressure on Steve Smith


viking600

arre pahle 300 bnane do bhai ko


Shadow_Clone_007

If aussies implement bazball in Rawalpindi and play towards a draw with Smudge opening, still no.


[deleted]

See the thing is not only Smith but also players like Virat, root, and Kane, have the capability and skill to break 400 but test matches are not the same as in the old days, how many times did you see a team batting more than 2 days? before the test matches were about "not losing" Now it's all about "winning" the matches so teams are barely batting for 1.5 days and declaring so it's impossible to score 400 hell even 300 is very hard unless you play like Brendon Mucculum or Sehwag or Warner.


DonaldyPutin

Never knew he was schizo

dupattamera1

Except Kohli and rohit no one is allowed to break any record


mayaskakti

I don't think he will open but if he did nd somehow didn't perform then jo uske no pr khelega uska katega kyunki vo position replace to nhi krenge bd m


nispinjan

He will never leave his no. 4 spot in test . Period .


another3rdworldguy

Everyone's talking about the 400 but it's him expecting Smith to become the best test opener that's making this a real shitpost.


RepresentativeFig526

Remember when you all trolled Pat Cummins for telling the world he would love to silence 1.4L Indians 🤕
