Steve Smith on Tuesday capped a remarkable season by sweeping the main awards at the annual Allan Border Medal ceremony, including Australian player of the year.
The prolific batsman also took the one-day and Test player awards.
Smith was a runaway winner for the Allan Border Medal — judged on performances in Tests and one-dayers throughout the season — by polling 243 votes, ahead of David Warner (175) and Mitchell Johnson (126).
He is only the third player to win the trifecta in the 10 years it has been running, following in the footsteps of Ricky Ponting in 2007 and Shane Watson in 2011.
Glenn Maxwell was rewarded for his efforts with bat and ball to win Twenty20 player of the year.
Sean Abbott was named the Bradman Young Cricketer of the Year.
Australian women’s captain Meg Lanning took the Belinda Clark Award for the second year in a row.
