Labuschagne is also the only player to score more than 1000 runs in Test this year.
The right-handed batsman finished the year with 1104 runs, while the second-placed Steven Smith is 139 runs behind him.

On Sunday, Australia defeated New Zealand by 247 runs in the second Test to take a 2-0 unassailable lead in the three-match series.
