(FILES) In this file photo taken on August 04, 2019 Australia's Steve Smith celebrates reaching his century during play on the fourth day of the first Ashes cricket Test match between England and Australia at Edgbaston in Birmingham, central England on August 4, 2019. - An Australia batsman with a technique that departs from the coaching manual piling on the runs in the Ashes -- England have been here before. But should Steve Smith be compared to the greatest of them all, Don Bradman? The pair have been mentioned repeatedly in the same sentence since Smith marked his return to Test cricket following a 12-month ban for his role in a ball-tampering scandal with innings of 144 and 142 during Australia's 251-run win over England in the first Test at Edgbaston last week.
