Ashes 2017/18, 4th Test: Hits and misses

Hit: Steven Smith

Australia skipper Steven Smith seems to be unstoppable in the Ashes 2017/18 series as he scored yet another ton and proved that he is the best Test batsman in the world right now for a reason.

From six innings the ongoing series, Smith has already passed 600 runs and scored three tons. Only one Australian, Sir Donald Bradman, has hit four in an Ashes series.

The Boxing Day Test at the Melbourne Cricket Ground was the 30th of Smith's career as a captain and he has scored tons in 15 of them.

Smith's 23rd Test ton, which was one of his most patient innings, was also his eighth Ashes ton, drawing him level with Ricky Ponting, Greg Chappell and Arthur Morris.
