#1 Adam Voges – 614 runs

269*, 106* and 239: December 2015 - February 2016
A man who started his Test career like a dream aged 35, Adam Voges had shot up his average to a Bradmanesque 97.46 after his first 14 Tests. By then, he had slammed five centuries – three of them were unbeaten – and after his second double hundred, had accumulated 614 runs in a row without being dismissed.
That knock of 239 came at Wellington, but it wasn't without its share of controversy: Doug Bracewell was called for no-ball when Voges was bowled on 7, though replays indicated that the verdict was harsh on the bowler. Before that, however, he had ammassed 269* and 106* in consecutive innings against West Indies at Hobart and Melbourne, respectively during the home summer of 2015-16.
Eventually, Voges retired after 20 Tests and ended with a fantastic average of 61.87, a result of not hitting a single half-century in his last 11 innings.
