I take it you mean most runs for an Australian? Because the most Test Runs in a calendar year for any batsman is
1) Mohammed Yousuf (Pak) 2006 - 1788 @ ave 99.33
2)Sir Viv 1976 - 1710 @ ave 90
3) Greame Smith 2008 - 1656 @ ave 72
4) Tendukar 2010 - 1562 @ ave 78.10
5) Ponting 2005 - 1544 @ ave 67
6) Pointing 2003 - 1503 @ ave 100.2
7) Clarke 2012 - 1489 @ ave 106.3
Clarke still has a ways to go to reach the top of this tree. Who knows, given his form he can do that in the next few days
edit - typed in 2010 instead of 2012 for clarke
