Australia v India - 1st Test: Day 2
Smith is the current No. 1 batsman in Test cricket

The Australian captain is one of the finest batsmen of all time. In Test cricket, he is the best in the world, especially considering his record over the past two years.

Despite being an absolute colossus in first-class cricket, his outstanding run-scoring abilities as a Test player have surpassed his domestic cricket records.

In 107 first-class games, Smith averages 56.33, but in Test cricket, he averages 59.66. In the years to come, that gap could well rise if he does not play as much first-class cricket.
