Galle, Jan 29 (UNI) Steven Smith has joined an exclusive club, becoming just the 15th player to pass 10,000 men's Test runs.
Missing the chance to reach the mark in his home city of Sydney during the recent Border-Gavaskar Trophy series, Smith brought up the five-figure milestone in Australia's first Test against Sri Lanka in Galle, playing his signature flick toward mid-on, setting off for one before raising his bat to acknowledge the applause.
The moment was marked by an ovation from the Australia group.
