Test and ODI team of the year

[SLICKR392]

The period for which the team is selected Amla averaged 49' date=' Kohli 40.[/quote']

[Scarves]

The question is why is the period August 2012-August 2013? What kind of logic is that? It should be the calender year.

[vvvslaxman]

What is the objectives of these teams? Do they get money?

[Sidhoni]

#1 odi batsman not in the team :cantstop:' date='[b']dhoni in the test team :haha:,i guess that 224 he made was the main cause of his selection else his avg would have been 33 last season

Link Prior has most runs but averages 17 runs lesser. ABDV makes it as specialist batsman so Dhoni is the keeper.

It is like in NBA where you get first team all NBA and second team all NBA I think , other then prestige and recognition nothing else is in it.

[StriKe]

[vvvslaxman]

Looks like a stat based team... something a 5 year old can come up with lol .

Dhoni played all the Tests at home unlike Prior and De Villiers.

[prinzo]

Such teams are always stats based.

[Scarves]

no' date='a cricket season starts from august till next august, thats the trend[/quote'] Then it shouldn't the team of the year, it should be the team of the season.

Kohli and Misbah should have been in the list.

Outside Pakistan Misbah is a non entity. He is a one-eyed king of blind men.

Same can be said about Kohli. He is also non entity when not playing against Sri lanka or against trundlers like Faulkner and Watson. Junaid proved that not too long ago. No wonder ICC did not include Kohli in their team.

[GrandMasterSaxy]

Are you kidding ? Kohli's record (HOME AND AWAY) in Australia 53.28 in Bangladesh 122 in England 46.25 in India 51.97 in South Africa 57.6 in Sri Lanka 35.56 in West Indies 34.7 in Zimbabwe 60.83

If anyone is allowed to bat like Misba even Pragyan Ojha will average in 30s after a while lol. Did you even look at his strike rate.

[GrandMasterSaxy]

I understand Misbah did well and single handedly batted for Pakistan but the scores of 50s-70s doesn't make sense unless Misbah win those matches, may be that's the reason he was omitted from the ODI squad. Comparing Misbah to Kohli is a big joke. Kohli has more number of ODI centuries in last 2 years combining the total number of centuries Pakistan scored as a team.

If someone is going to block everything and hits an occasional 4.. he is definitely going to boost his average
