ICC Test team of the year 2015

Steven Smith (Australia):

Steven Smith is the third highest run-getter this year. The responsibility of leading the Test side has only bettered him as a batsman and as a contributor this team. Smith looks calm from outside but is a fierce competitor from inside. He has played 11 Tests so far and has scored 1260 runs. Smith started this year with a superb century against India at Sydney. Later he missed his double century by just one run against West Indies but shortly achieved this feat against England scoring by 215 in the second Test of the Ashes.
