LU crying out for great threads. Fangs delivers.
Is he, or isn't he?
The record as it stands:
http://stats.espncricinfo.com/ci/engine/player/267192.html?class=1;template=results;type=allround
Tests - 65
Innings - 118
Runs - 6343
Highest Score - 239
Average - 62.18
Centuries - 24
Impressive average batting away from home: 55.16. Article from 2016 has Smith 5th on that list:

He is only 30 years old. Plenty of time for his record to change. Plenty of batsman reaching their peak average around 30 years old:

Also batting with very little support. Only two other batsman in the current test squad averaging over 40 in test cricket (Warner/Khawaja...Travis Head the exception but only 8 tests).
