@FoxCricket Still a way to go for most catches by an Aust fielder vs Eng in Tests:
GChappell 61 in 35 Tests
ABorder 57 in 47 Tests
@stevesmith49 54 in 35 Tests
Centenary Tests in 1977 & 1980 + 1979-80 3 Test series were not played for The Ashes.
@stevesmith49 5 catches in innings. 14th time a fielder has taken 5 catches in an innings but first player to take 5 catches in an innings twice in Tests.

Steve Smith leads the chart for the most runs scored after 99 Tests.
One of the greatest batters to have ever played in Test cricket.

5 July 2023:Steve Smith moves to No.2 position in the latest ICC Test batting rankings.
Acknowledge the greatness, try not being salty, it feels good.
Steve Smith is about to play his 100th Test
Just a reminder …
He debuted at Lord’s in 2010 and batted at numbers 8 & 9
13 years later …
9113 runs at 59.6
32 100s
37 50s
A phenomenal record

Peter Philpott was helping me out and when I told him what I was looking for he said that there was really only one man for the job – Steve Rixon.
