The latter feels a little problematic given he led his team to an Ashes defeat. But it seems a reasonable pick.

Not sure how he got test cricketer of the year ahead of kane Williamson

Bit of a joke really

Could also have made a strong case for Ashwin after laying waste to South Africa. I think he has taken a 5-for in each of his last 7 odd tests....

The ICC Awards are based on performances from September 2014 to September 2015 so most of Williamson and Ashwin's performances were too late.

For me Steve Smith is highly overrated. Against accurate fast bowling he's so vulnerable.
Work expands to fill the time available, so why do today what can be put off until tomorrow.

He's not in my top 5 for the one that you're running on here.

In the voting period, Smith scored the most Test runs (1734 at an average of 83) and also made 1249 ODI runs at 59.

Seems West Indies may get to play India at home later in the year.

Shoaib Malik scored 607 runs at an average of 67.44 this year. Quite a feat.

Didn't get who NL played against, and who was top scorer in WC final.
