Steve Smith is on the cusp of inflicting a slice of statistical ignominy on England firebrand Jofra Archer in the second Test at the Gabba.
Smith has put plenty of good bowlers to shame during his remarkable career for Australia, but Archer is approaching an unwanted record against the 36-year-old batting maestro.
According to Opta data, 26 more wicket-less deliveries will see the Englishman become the bowler who has sent down the most balls to Smith in Test cricket without having claimed his scalp.
