Was Steve Smith's performance in England the greatest performance you have seen in an away series?

[Ab Fan]

Steve Smith scored 714 runs over 7 innings in this series which includes one double-hundred, two hundreds and three scores of 80+(80,82,92).He was unlucky to miss out on three innings, which could have meant England struggling to drew the series.

Is it the greatest performance by a modern-era batsmen in any away test series vs a top opponent which had a quality bowling attack of Archer, Broad and co, ensuring that his country retains the urn, which was all what matters at the end? What are the other series defining performances that are better or come close to this?

Discuss!

Steve Smith in India was arguably as good

 

[ShahKhan007]

Started following test cricket frequently around 2005 have not seen this sort of individual batting dominance, not even close.

Also Broad vs Warner can definitely give Hafeez vs Steyn a run for their money when it comes to the more deserving bunny title.

 

[Finisher]

Lara vs Murli

 

[Ab Fan]

Steve Smith in India was arguably as good

500 runs in 8 innings Vs 714 in 7 innings.

 

[Savak]

Wow, he actually outdid Kohli in England. I am surprised as to how badly he struggled against South Africa and Rabbada when Kohli on the other hand has no issues against South Africa or Rabbada.

 

[Swashbuckler]

Amla in India 2010, scored 500+ runs and was dismissed just once. Or Andy Flower in India 2001, scored 550 runs and dismissed twice, one man army literally. In terms of impact, Cook in 2012 with his 3 100s deserves a mention, England finally won a series in India after 28 years. Smith's series here wasn't as impeccable as the 3 I mentioned.

 

[Swashbuckler]

Steve Smith in India was arguably as good

His 100 in Pune came on a tough pitch but he was dropped 6 times and had a plumb LBW reprieve, Aussies had already all but won the match before he came to bat. His 100s in Ranchi and Dharamsala came on flat decks on day 1, easy batting conditions. His series here comfortably outclasses his India series, 780 runs in 4 tests OMG.

 

[James]

Cook in Australia 2010 and in India 2012 was pretty good.

 

[Extra_Cover]

Imran in India in 80s was pretty fantastic too

 

[shaz619]

Cook in Australia for me that was incredible really out of this world [MENTION=131701]Mamoon[/MENTION]

 

[sweep_shot]

This was definitely the best Test performance I have seen in my lifetime. Smith was like a robot.

 

[Sam99]

Best i have seen. Batting was totally dependent on him for aus and he had great impact on series as well.

What a way to rewrite history.

Firstly he was dropped four times and two of the chances were half chances which would
be classified as screamers.

The match was definitely not won. He was actually the difference that he got a century in second innings whereas the second highest Australian score then was 31.

This series was obviously more dominant but those were alien conditions and Pune in particular was as much as a rank turner as you will ever get. Warne called it a day 8 pitch on the first day

Cook was amazing but he was not the only performing batsman for England that series as it was Smith in this series fot Australia

 

[shaz619]

Cook was amazing but he was not the only performing batsman for England that series as it was Smith in this series fot Australia

I don't think we would have won the Ashes in Australia though were it not for Cook, also bare in mind that openers have to set the tone at the top as well which is never easy and even more so in Australia

Of course I don't remember all the misses and not bothered to check, my point being he was dropped many times and plumb LBW not given. It was not a quality knock, am not saying because I have any grudge, I would say the same for Sachin's Mohali 85 as well. Match was already won after we were bowled out for 100 odd, a 1st innings lead of 160-170 was matchwinning on that rank turner. Had Australia been dismissed for 60 runs in 3rd innings they would still have won comfortably. You can't chase 120 runs in 4th dig on such pitches, less than their 1st innings lead.

This series was obviously more dominant but those were alien conditions and Pune in particular was as much as a rank turner as you will ever get. Warne called it a day 8 pitch on the first day

Pune was a toughie, but they secured the win based on 1st innings difference, their openers and Starc's late blows made a bigger impact.

Second test in Bangalore was another tough wicket and Smith failed.

Ranchi was a flat pancake, Pujara got a 200 and someone as mediocre as Saha scored a 100.

Dharamsala pitch isn't a traditional Indian one because of geography and soil, it has high clay content which means more bounce (like in tennis but that is loose clay, so less speed). It was modeled after Aussie wickets, more clay also means pitch won't break up, clay absorbs moisture when watered and that holds the surface. Watch any match in Dharamsala and see for yourself, it is an Aussie pitch with Indian surroundings, sometimes English weather . Smith scored a 100 there on day 1, well and good but I fail to see what demons he conquered.

Smith scored runs in India agree, but impact was less. Pune 1st innings, Bangalore, Ranchi 3rd innings when they were trying to save the match, Dharamsala 3rd innings, he failed whenever his team needed him most. That was a great series for him, but this Ashes has been a legendary one.

 

[JattMaula]

Absolutely.

He singlehandedly kept Aussie batting afloat. The circumstances(return from ban) and occassion just further elevate the legendary performance.

 

[Mamoon]

Cook in Australia for me that was incredible really out of this world [MENTION=131701]Mamoon[/MENTION]

And in India as well. Two ATG away performances that cemented his stature as a legend.

 

[shaz619]

Terribly missed, if there was doubt I think that point couldn't be more clear; one of the greatest ever

 

[The Viper]

Smith was the difference between both teams.

A legendary series and I would say the best away ever.

 

[Usman]

Mohammad Yousuf's 2006 series in England was pretty epic too. Smith scored two hundreds and a double in 4 tests - Yousuf did the same. Yousuf's overall run talley in that series was 631 and so not far behind Smith.

Yousuf had an absolutely unforgettable year in 2006. 9 hundreds in 11 tests with many of them being daddy hundreds.

Steve Smith scored 499 runs in India only 1 runs of short otherwise he would be included in that 500 runs in away series list

 

[Ab Fan]

For me, this gotta be the greatest series performance I have seen.

Cook's performance in Australia was legendary but supported by KP and Trott and that was also one of the weaker Aussie side, up against arguably the best England team.

Here, Smith did all pretty much alone.He got some support from Labuschagne but he alone was the single biggest factor for this series. England had weak batting but their bowling was very good with Archer and Broad leading up from front.

Australia batsman Steve Smith etched his name in the record books on the 2nd day of the 5th Ashes Test, as he went on to smash another half century against England in Oval. The right-handed batsman, had already scored two tons, two fifties and a double hundred in the series. As he crossed the 50-run mark for the sixth time in the series, he surpassed Inzamam-ul-Haq’s record of scoring most 50+ scores against a single team in Test cricket.

While the former Pakistan captain had scored nine 50+ scores against England, Smith became the first player to do so ten consecutive times.

Most consecutive 50+ scores vs a single team in Tests

Steve Smith (Australia v England) – 10*

Inzamam-ul-Haq (Pakistan v England) – 9

Clive Lloyd (West Indies v England) – 8

Jacques Kallis (South Africa v Pakistan) – 8

Kumar Sangakkara (Sri Lanka v Bangladesh) – 8

Smith failed to get another hundred as he was dismissed for 80 by Chris Woakes. The seamer pitched it fuller to trap the batsman and the umpire immediately raised his finger following the huge appeal. Smith chose not to review and walked back.

Meanwhile, Marnus Labuschagne missed out on a half century as he was dismissed for 48 just after lunch. Smith and Labuschagne shared a 69-run stand for the third wicket before Jofra Archer trapped the batsman in front. Labuschagne faced 84 deliveries and his innings was laced with 10 fours.

Archer was the pick of the bowlers for the hosts taking all three wickets but he could not get one over Smith as the former Aussie captain continued to bat in a league of his own.

Earlier, David Warner failed once again, as Archer had the out of sorts southpaw caught behind by Jonny Bairstow for just five

[Joseph Gomes]

I would say yes. Primarily because he received nearly zero support in batting. Only person to remotely assist Smith was Labuschagne. Smith played alongside top, middle and lower order batsmen in nearly every match.

Also stats won't show tag Smith has rescued Australia from collapse in every single test, and has played fast or slow depending on the situation. He got out due to slogging after running out of partners, otherwise he could've scored much more.

Not only he dominated the bowlers, he prevented collapse and was as selfless as it gets. It's easily one of the best performance in a test series, home or away.

No Sachin Tendulkar. Strange.Probably didn't played many 4/5 test series in his peak years of 90s. Or probably didn't dominated a series in his career. That's absolutely strange.

P.S. That Hayden stat is insane. 550 runs in 3 test in India??Is it the best away performance by an opener in sub-continent?

Behind Lara in Sri Lanka 2003 Vs Murali and Cook in India, 2012.

Hayden had to deal with better Indian bowling attack though compared to Cook and other batters struggled for runs in that series. His double hundred was an ATG knock.

Kumble and Srinath (he played 1st but missed the other two) were not there,Steve Waugh also played well in that tour not as good as Hayden and Australia won the first test because of Gilly's hundred.

 

[Ab Fan]

Kumble and Srinath (he played 1st but missed the other two) were not there,Steve Waugh also played well in that tour not as good as Hayden and Australia won the first test because of Gilly's hundred.

First test was won by the collective effort of Hayden and Gilly. Gilly scored 122 runs while Hayden scored 119, who opened the batting.

Hayden also played well in second test, where Dravid and Laxman robbed the Australians.

In third test, Hayden was the only one who stood up against Harbhajan on a rank turner and all others got smashed.

 

[MMHS]

One of the best indeed, but I don't think anyone will come close to Lara in SRL, almost scored 1/3rd of team's total in a 0-3 loss.

 

[Cuts_and_cuts_hard]

Best batting any any series I have watched

 

[Hasan123]

It's one of the best I have seen. I felt as though he would get a 100 every time he would bat.

 

[DHONI183]

It´s always hard to pick one particular performance, but this one definitely comes seriously close. England though will be really relieved that they finally out a way out to remove Smith, although it came as late as the last innings of the series. I thought it was a case of very sharp thinking from England, placing that fielder there. New Zealand put Smith in exactly the same trap months ago in the ODI World Cup match. Knowing Smith, and how for a capable batsman he is, I´m surely he´ll sort this issue out soon, too.

Tendulkar shockingly just played 3 5test series in a long career.

Tendulkar's performance where he played 3 or more tests.

Its the highest runs made by opener in 3 test series.
Buts its not the most runs by a opener in subcontinent. That goes to Sutcliffe (NZ) with 611 runs in a 5 test series.

Smith is great, but he's no Colin de Grandhomme.

 

[big_gamer007]

New performances are always fresh in everyones mind, hence are rated higher. After a few years if someone has a great series then threads will be opened up claiming it to be GOAT performance.

Having said the above, Smith's performance was legendary and without a shadow of doubt was one of the best performances ever. Was it better than Lara in SL, Cook in Aus, Hayden/Flower in India? One needs to analyze it deeply and take various factors into account. Most important factor has to be conditions and quality of bowling faced.

Question asked in OP was about the beat away performance we have seen. I didn't see Lara in SL or Hayden/Flower in India. Cook face ordinary attack by Aussie standards. There may have been some gem performances in Past but this was the best I have seen.

Fair enough, it might be the best away performance you have watched. Even for me it might be the best away performance that I have seen, since memories of other performances have faded away with time.

This might not be objectively the best performance, but it's definitely amplied because it's done by Smith, who has done similar thing in India before. Smith doesn't just score runs, he's extremely clutch (scores runs after top order collapse) and also ups the strike rate dramatically when he's batting with tail (so that team gets more run before getting all out).

He basically prevents collapse in top order, stabilizes the batting in middle order, and slog for quick runs with lower order. Most of the other batsmen have done all these stuff in the same innings maybe once or twice in their career. Smith does this regularly.

He is being hyped this much because he IS special. It's not just his insane batting average (20% better than next best, Kohli), but he also does magical stuff every few tests.
