I made it just in time with my team of the year, lucky too, because it meant a Bangladeshi could be squeezed in.
Here it is, in all its glory.
Sehwag â€" Made the second most runs of the year with a strike rate of 85, and some people still didn’t pick him in their team of the years, heretics.
Smith â€" Oh this one hurts, but 4th innings chase and draw runs are important to me.
Amla â€" Ponting made a late run, but Amla was smooth all year.
KP â€" 5 tons and one fifty, that is pure conversion.
Shiv â€" He picked this spot.
AB â€" if this time last year you said I would pick AB I would laugh in your face and stab you.
Vettori â€" Had perhaps the best year of his career.
Shakib Al Hasan â€" I wrote his full name in just incase you didn’t know who I was picking. Batting average of 29, bowling of 25 with 4 five wicket hauls.
Jayawardene â€" Best Gloveman in test cricket.
Johnson â€" I looked for all the reasons to leave him out, but in the end he got the nod because he was the second best fast bowler in the world.
Steyn â€" Might have underperformed in England, but over performed everywhere else.
Jeetan Patel (12th) No one does it better.
Unlucky bastards.
Harbhajan was probably the unluckiest, but his average wasn’t too crash hot, and he bowled 100 more overs than anyone else this year to get him to the top of the wicket takers list.
Gauthum City just missed out, if ony he had done more with all those starts early in the year.
Clarke averaged over 50, with 4 tons and 5 50’s, but number 5 was the first spot picked for shiv and AB deserved number 6.
Ponting made the 3rd most runs of the year and averaged over 50 whilst being out of form most of the time.
O’Brien took 38 wickets at 21, but through no fault of his own most of them were against minnows.
Sidebottom, also took a lot of wickets at a great average, but again against minnows.
Dhoni, Haddin & McCullum all missed out, all were very good with the bat, but all were sub par with the bat.
Arjantha Mendis only needed 2 more tests to get in.
Bryce McGain, what, are you saying he wasn't unlucky?
