List of international cricket centuries by Steve Smith edit
- ... that Steve Smith has scored seven of his twenty Test centuries against India? Source: ESPNcricinfo

Sufficient expansion of an existing list article: almost exactly 5x the original prose portion in the lead. I have spot-checked various references and all are suitably reliable and have been used correctly. No copyvio/close paraphrasing noted. The hook fact can be confirmed from the source above. I am happy with the "interestingness" of the hook; an alternative (if one is desired) could be that four of the centuries were scored in the same Test series against India (this is explicitly stated in one of the sources)—quite an impressive achievement in its own right.

Hi, I came by to promote this, but I'm not sure what I'm looking at in the charts under footnotes 10 and 11. I'm only counting 5 tests against India. What am I doing wrong? Yoninah (talk) 21:06, 27 August 2017 (UTC)
- @Yoninah: its Test centuries (100 or more runs), references 10 and 11 shows 4 and 3 centuries respectively. Also, have a look at 'Test centuries' list (numbered 5, 6, 7, 8 and 18, 19, 20)! Regards, Khadar Khani (talk) 00:48, 28 August 2017 (UTC)
