Steve Smith breaks Inzamam’s world record
Australian run machine is showing no signs of slowing down.
Pakistan batting great Inzamam-ul-Haq’s record of most Test fifties against a single opponent was broken by Australian superstar Steve Smith on Friday in the fifth and final Ashes Test.
Smith, the world’s top-ranked batsman in Test cricket, scored his 10th half-century against England before eventually finishing with 80.
The supremely in-form Smith’s 10th fifty against England is one more than Inzamam’s nine, also against England.
Smith has been in historic form this Ashes series, and has piled up a staggering 751 runs at a stupendous average of 125 runs per innings.
His incredible performances during Ashes 2019 have led some to call him the second coming of the great Sir Donald Bradman.
Inzamam, one of the all-time batting greats to come out of Pakistan, retired in 2007. Since then he has taken up coaching and cricket administration. He was most recently the chief selector of the Pakistan national team.
