Steve Smith needs 51 runs vs SA in WTC final to break Warren Bardsley's 99-year-old record (575 runs) for most Test runs by visitor at Lord's!
Smith must surpass Sobers (571) & Bradman (551) to claim the crown! The Aussie star currently has 525 runs at Lord's with 2 centuries.
Bardsley's record stands since 1926! His 193* in final Lord's Test highlights this legendary benchmark Smith aims to break.
Smith's last 2 Lord's Tests: 110 (2023 Ashes) & 215 (2015)! His 58.33 average here makes him favorite to rewrite history.
"Lord's is my 2nd favorite ground after Sydney," says Smith. Praises the slope, fast outfield & even the famous lunches!
SA's pace attack vs Smith's mastery! With retirement looming, this might be his last chance to cement Lord's legacy forever.
A 51-run knock would place Smith above ALL visiting greats at Lord's - the ultimate feather in his legendary Test career cap!
