Australia can be termed one of those rare places outside the Indian sub-continent which has produced classy batsmen. The land where cricket pitches lay green lush grass on it, shaping up as a batsman is one of the toughest professions to choose. The conditions, climate and wickets all assist the bowlers and on those challenging conditions have produced some of the best batsmen to have ever played the game of cricket.
So, taking into account the toughness of the task, we have decided to acknowledge those who have done it. Here’s a complete layout of the highest run scorers for Australia in not one format but in all formats. The highest test, ODI, T20 run getters followed by a cumulative highest.
One man Ricky Ponting surely rules batting cards for his country topping it in tests ODI’s and by virtue of that also the overall runs. At his peak he had also given Sachin Tendulkar the Indian batting Legend and the highest run maker in cricket a run for his money.
The closest anybody came to Sachin’s most runs and centuries has to be Ricky, he is also among the top in world cricket.
It is David Warner who is the highest in T20’s with 1444 runs in 52 games. The pocket size dynamo has converted himself from a T20 specialist to an all format suited player now. And he is equally destructive in tests and ODI’s as much as the shortest format.
Let’s not talk more read the number’s which will describe you the entire story. Check out who’s who of Australian cricket and the guys who ensured Aussie dominance on Cricketing Universe for a decade and a half. Major part of the Steve Waugh team including himself and brother Mark Waugh are also among the most run scorers for their country.
