#6 Steve Smith - Australia
It is a special moment and an honour for a batsman to be named in the same breath as Sir Don Bradman for his run-scoring exploits. This is even more surprising when that batsman's career was started as being a leg-spinner. He is none other than Steve Smith.
The unreal numbers that he conjures up in Test cricket every now and then are second to none. While his limited overs exploits are not as nearly a match to his staggering Test numbers, he has already registered his name in the pantheons of batting greats.
