When: West Indies vs Australia, 2nd Test Kingston, Jamaica 2015

The 199 club had to wait for another three years for its next entrant. Their wait though bore fruits as it was none other than the current Australian skipper and World's No. 1 Test batsmen Steve Smith. It was the 2nd Test of the 2015 Frank Worrell trophy between Australia and the hosts West Indies. Smith played a huge part in Australia posting a competitive yet eventually match-winning total of 399. He, however, missed his first First-class double hundred when he was beaten by a fast inswinging yorker by Jerome Taylor and was trapped LBW.

Smith though didn't have to wait much longer as two months later, he piled on the agony on England with a breathtaking 215, becoming the first Aussie cricketer to score an Ashes double hundred at Lords. Smith added another double hundred to his kitty against the same opposition in the recently concluded Ashes series at home.
