3 hundreds a year? He's hit 11 in his last 21 testsSay Smith scores 3 hundreds a year until he's 33. That puts him on 35 hundreds. Then say he slows down to 1 a year after that. Playing for 5 more years puts him at 40 tons over all. That's about what I expect, though maybe he has a few more than that in him.
Age? Or the number of centuries he'll finished with?I am gonna go 42. It is the meaning of life, the universe, and everything after all
Number of centuriesAge? Or the number of centuries he'll finished with?
Yeah but what if he hits a form slump where he doesn't make a hundred in 18 months like Hayden in 04/05? Then 9 hundreds over three next three years is eminently reasonable.3 hundreds a year? He's hit 11 in his last 21 tests
It's a conservative estimate.
It's possible at this stage of his career. Unless he encounters a ridiculous drop in form, that's a surety.Number of centuries
Big call.lots
His dip in form was the fifth Ashes test.Smith hasn't had a dip in form yet (not since first few tests/debuting as an all-rounder rather than a specialist batsman).
Be interesting to see if/when it does happen:
- How it happens and his response to it
- How long
- When
Just puts Sachin's achievements, in particular longevity, into perspective - Smith - despite his Bradman-lite stats, is only half way there (less than half the tests of course).
The first year he’s got none.Say Smith scores 3 hundreds a year until he's 33. That puts him on 35 hundreds. Then say he slows down to 1 a year after that. Playing for 5 more years puts him at 40 tons over all. That's about what I expect, though maybe he has a few more than that in him.
YetThe first year he’s got none.
The year is since the quoted post, not the calendar year. Not even Smith can make runs retrospectively (yet).
India are conspiring to not let Smith break Sachin's records by just collapsing instead so he doesn't even get the chance to make runs.
