10 individual cricket peaks in recent times

Hashim Amla (2010)

Amla celebrates his century against India in 2010

Given Amla’s style of play and consistent run, it is fairly difficult to pin-point on one part of his career which can be deemed as a peak. Yet, the year 2010 was statistically the most successful one for the South African, in all the formats combined.

In 11 Test matches, he raked up 1249 runs at an average of 78, with five centuries and four half centuries. He opened the batting with Graeme Smith, another prolific run scorer, and currently holds the South African batting together. So far, he has accumulated 14,000 international runs over three formats.
