What makes the video even more amusing is on-air commentator Ian Smith’s remark on it.
“New ball is taken and just have a look at what Dean Elgar thought of this one.
Give me that…give me that ball… I’m gonna chuck it out of the SCG…I never wanna see it again,” said Smith.
After two centuries on Day 2 of the Sydney Test match on January 5, Australia had complete command. Former captain Steve Smith overtook Donald Bradman, one of Australia’s all-time greatest hitters, by scoring his 30th century in Test cricket, surpassing him in the process.
During his 104-run performance, Usman Khawaja and Smith added more than 200 runs to the Australian total during their partnership, pushing the total well over 350 runs. Khawaja also achieved his thirteenth hundred in Test matches. 33-year-old Smith is now ranked fourth among all Australians and fourteenth overall for most hundreds in Test cricket.
