[Arthur Crabtree]

As a precursor to the players of the year, the ICC have released their teams of the year.

TESTS

David Warner (Aus)
Kane Williamson (NZ)
Kumar Sangakkara (SL)
AB de Villiers (SA)
Joe Root (Eng)
Angelo Mathews (SL) (captain)
Mitchell Johnson (Aus)
Stuart Broad (Eng)
Dale Steyn (SA)
Rangana Herath (SL)
Tim Southee (NZ)

ODIs


Mohammad Hafeez (Pak)
Quinton de Kock (SA)
Virat Kohli (Ind)
George Bailey (Aus)
AB de Villiers (SA)
MS Dhoni (wicketkeeper) (captain)
Dwayne Bravo (WI)
James Faulkner (Aus)
Dale Steyn (SA)
Mohammad Shami (Ind)
Ajantha Mendis (SL)
Rohit Sharma (Ind) (12th man)

This covers the period 26/08/13-17-09-14.

These are the stats for the period. Before I do though, I'm a bit surprised Broad and Root figured after their Ashes nightmare, especially Root who had a poor time in Australia like everyone else, and flourished against friendlier attacks on home pitches.

A very good side

[Durhamfootman]

Amazed that Cook isn't in there as test capt

Clearly the ICC know nothing about cricket. He doesn't even feature in the ODI side

Madness!

[Arthur Crabtree]

Not in the ODI side either. Crazy.

[Arthur Crabtree]

Mitch wins Test and international player of the year, a shoo in.

Ballance is young player.
