By IANS News January 29, 2025 • 14:58 PM View: 753

The Sydney Morning Herald: After becoming only the fourth Australian to cross the 10,000-run mark in Test cricket on day one of the Galle Test against Sri Lanka, Steve Smith felt “nice to tick that off” with a flick wide of mid-on off Prabath Jayasuriya.

Smith joined legends Ricky Ponting, Allan Border, and Steve Waugh in this elite club, achieving the milestone in just 205 innings – the fifth-fastest in Test history.

“Nice to tick that off,” Smith told official broadcaster Channel Seven at the stroke of lunch.
