Steve Smith’s incredible purple patch has been recognised in the latest update to the ICC player rankings, with the Australian jumping to No.1 among the world’s Test batsmen after Australia wrapped up a clean sweep against West Indies in Jamaica overnight. Smith was man of the match in the tourists’ second Test win, having made 199 and 54 not out in just his second match batting at No.3. The first-innings century was his ninth in 17 matches, a stunning run that has included five hundreds in his past six Tests after he completely dominated Australia’s home summer against India.
