Ashes 2019: Steve Smith only behind Don Bradman and Jack Hobbs

In the list of batsmen with most Ashes centuries, Steve Smith is currently in third place, behind only Don Bradman and Jack Hobbs.

Courtesy of his Edgbaston epic, Steve Smith edged closer to making Ashes history. 

#5 David Gower - 9 Ashes centuries in 38 Tests The stylish southpaw was the bedrock of England's Ashes success in 1980s and his numbers speak for themselves.

#4 Steve Waugh - 10 Ashes centuries in 45 Tests The legendary Australian skipper bailed his side out on many occasions and his record in the Ashes isn't too shabby either.

#3 Steve Smith - 10 Ashes centuries in 24 Tests After starting his Ashes career as a leggie, Smith is now only behind Hobbs and Bradman in terms of most tons. All this and he only just turned 30.

#2 Jack Hobbs - 12 Ashes centuries in 41 Tests No England batsman has scored more runs than Jack Hobbs in the Ashes. So it should come as no surprise he leads the way for England in terms of tons as well.

#1 Don Bradman - 19 Ashes centuries in 37 Tests Who else but the Don? His 19 Test tons against England are not only an Ashes record but also a world record for most tons against a single opponent in Tests.
