England's star wicketkeeper-batter Jamie Smith has gone past 1,000 Test runs. He accomplished the milestone with his third run on Day 2 of the ongoing third Test versus India at Lord's. Smith, who made his Test debut last year, has emerged as a vital part of the team. Many even back him to become England's greatest-ever keeper in whites. Let's decode his stats. As per Cricbuzz, Smith became the joint-fastest keeper to accomplish 1,000 Test runs, having taken just 21 innings. While he equaled South Africa's Quinton de Kock, Sri Lanka's Dinesh Chandimal (22), England's Jonny Bairstow (22), Sri Lanka's Kumar Sangakkara (23), de Villiers (23), and West Indies's Jeff Dujon (24) trail the duo. Smith has also consumed the fewest balls to 1,000 Test runs (1,303). Playing his 13th Test (21 innings), Smith has gone past 1,000 runs at 58-plus, as per ESPNcricinfo. The tally includes five fifties and a couple of tons. Over 850 runs of Smith have come at home at an average of 65-plus. Meanwhile, he owns 150 runs from 3 Tests (5 innings) in away matches (home of opposition) at 30. Smith's average of 58-plus is the highest for a player with 1,000-plus Test runs as a designated keeper. South Africa's AB de Villiers (57.41) is the only other batter with a 54-plus average on this list. Meanwhile, Smith's strike rate is over 75. Smith scripted history by scoring 184* and 88 in the preceding Test at Edgbaston. His 184* is now the highest individual score by an England keeper in Tests. He also broke the record for the highest score by an England batter at No.7 in a Test match, previously held by KS Ranjitsinhji (175) for 128 years. As per Cricbuzz, Smith also recorded the 3rd-highest match aggregate score by a wicketkeeper in Tests.
