He is presently 7th all-time for Test runs for Australia and, right now, needs 67 more runs to become Australia's highest-ever run-scoring Test opener. At that point, he would pass Matthew Hayden and with a further 18 runs after that would pass Michael Clarke and move into 5th all-time for Test runs for Australia. If he makes the 85 he needs, his run-scoring feats in Tests for Australia will be behind only Ponting, Border, Steve Waugh and SPD BradSmith.
And with his 139th run, he goes ahead of Matthew Hayden. On 141*, he has 8,629 Test runs, 6th all-time for Australia.

And now, on 157*, Michael Clarke is in the rear-view mirror. 5th all-time for Test runs for Australia.

Tonight, he became just the 3rd man in history to play 100 Tests, 100 ODIs and 100 T20s for his country.

And in his 100th T20 international, he was POTM (yet again) for his 70 from just 36 balls.

And today he became Australia's highest scorer of runs in T20 internationals. He now has 3,155 career runs. Only two other players have reached 2,000 runs for Australia in T20 internationals.

A breathtakingly fine career continues. He is, of course, already 5th all-time for Australian Test runs and 6th all-time for Australian ODI runs. His ODI average is higher than the average of every one of the players who made more career runs than him.
