Smudge amongst the greats.

Steve Smith is not only second on the aggregate table but second on catches per Test, to the great Bob Simpson.

RT Ponting - 168 Tests. 196 catches. Per Test - 0.62
SP Smith - 108. 182 0.89
ME Waugh - 128. 181 0.74
MA Taylor - 104. 157 0.80
GS Chappell - 87. 122 0.74
RB Simpson - 62. 110 0.94
IM Chappell - 75. 105 0.73

Passed Mark Waugh in the just completed Test against NZ, with another 3.

^ Yes, he is.

The catch from Young, off Head, last evening, was a ripper: "He's unbelievable!" "Two great catches from Smith today, Kane Williamson and Young - 59 for 3."

[Donny]

All comers.

Rahul Dravid (IND) 164 Tests 210 catches. Per Test 0.697

Not bad for someone who should never have played another match after cheating in 2018.

[Pies4shaw]

^ Should never have been suspended. That was a joke.

Donny, I think there's something wrong with your catches per Test - I'm not sure what - maybe it's per innings or something? I've tried to reverse engineer those figures but I can't replicate them. Whatever your calculation, Smith's catches per Test, eg, are 182/108 = 1.69 catches per Test.
