The ICC have named their test and one day teams of the year. The test team is pretty uneventful IMO, but it's the one day side that sparked my interest.
http://www.espncricinfo.com/ci-icc/content/story/946735.html

Test team of the year: David Warner, Alastair Cook (captain), Kane Williamson, Younis Khan, Steven Smith, Joe Root, Sarfraz Ahmed (wk), Stuart Broad, Trent Boult, Yasir Shah, Josh Hazlewood, R Ashwin (12th man)

ODI team of the year: Tillakaratne Dilshan, Hashim Amla, Kumar Sangakkara (wk), AB de Villiers (capt), Steven Smith, Ross Taylor, Trent Boult, Mohammed Shami, Mitchell Starc, Mustafizur Rahman, Imran Tahir, Joe Root (12th man)

In a World Cup year where Australia went through the entire tournament dominating every team, eventually crushing New Zealand in the final, they decided that only two Australians are good enough to make the team.

I can't think of any Australians who are glaring omissions from that ODI side.

Not really sure how Ross Taylor made it though

Maxwell at 6 for Ross Taylor does me fine.
Can't remember Haddin doing much wrong in World Cup when he came into bat.
Is Mustafizur Rahman a keeper for Bangladesh? Cannot even remember.
In any case the team is mostly meaningless now as one day matches have little meaning any more except when it is the World Cup tournament itself. Rarely do teams pick their best team in between World Cups. They just rotate players.

during the qualifying period

Ross Taylor 1293 runs at 64.65
Glenn Maxwell 799 runs at 38.04

Can't remember Haddin doing much at all during the world cup. Certainly nothing that would make me pick him over Sangakkara and de Villiers

Shami in the ODI team of the year? Having a laugh surely.

2 wickets a match at an average of below 20 isn't bad

I don't know the actual figures. I only comment from pure memory and mostly that is dominated by what I saw of World Cup. Maxwell easily over Taylor as someone batting at 6 is not based in side purely on his batting. Maxwell brings all his aspects, which include fielding and bowling too. He is in as he is too dangerous a player to opposition to leave out. Haddin batted sublimely most times in terms of momentum of team innings during world cup. They just did not need to be long innings but they were important to team momentum at the time. I give him big credit for that role. de Villiers is not part of keeper discussion as he purely played as a batsman. Sangakkara though is in the team. If he is keeping it is no brainer no need for another. I would only have Haddin in if replacing some other keeper/batsman. Whom is Mustafizur Rahman ? If he is a keeper/batsman in that side named I would not have him ahead of Haddin.

FMD...lol

Why bother with these teams that ICC do now if just token gesture to make all nations feel like they got a player. No credibility for mine when they start naming players just to be nice.

Probably because he took 3 wickets a game at an average of 12 and bowled Bangladesh to their first ever series victories over Pakistan, India and South Africa.

I simply struggle to rate tournaments that have no meaning any more.
Blip on cricket radar for me. If it was world cup I would think shit better look him up.
If I see him some time in future and see he is a quality bowler I will apologize to him. ;)

At the age of 19/20, no less. You won't find many fast bowlers who've kicked off their ODI/test careers as explosively as he has. Deserved to be included.
 
Reckon Chris Rogers was unlucky to miss, had a very good year, which would have been better had concussion not cost him a couple of tests and a retired hurt on 49*.

Looking at stats there's very little between Rogers and Cook. Azhar Ali vs Williamson is the only other one which could be argued, however Azhar Ali beat up Bangladesh, so going with Williamson and his average over 70 is fair.

i'm more concerned over no south africans being good enough to make the test team and are ranked #1.

south africa only played west indies ? and bangladesh during this period. are we only picking the team from the 4 sides that played a substancial amount of test cricket ?
