Just how far will Steve Smith rise up the list of all-time international runs for Australia?

After a stellar Ashes series in England - in which he missed a game and a half - the former skipper didn't quite enjoy the same success in the home summer.

Regardless, Smith is flying up the record books, with Mike Hussey and David Boon the next men in his sights.

Opening bat David Warner sits even further up the list than Smith, with the 34-year-old no doubt eyeing off some of the greats above him.

The aggressive left-hander will most likely pick off Matthew Hayden and Adam Gilchrist over the upcoming summer.

Whether anyone will catch the mark set by the all-time leader remains to be seen - it's an eye-watering figure.

Slide on to see the batsmen that have scored the most international runs for Australia.
