England’s nemesis for probably this entire season, David Warner has however been Australia’s star test batsman for this year. From the perilous nature of its cricketing legacy at the start of the year to the productive phase that it’s come to, David Warner has been the rescuer of Australian batting innings on more than a few occasions. The ongoing Ashes series has been the perfect dose of positiveness to an otherwise troubled and ill-timed cricketing outing of David Warner.

The Australian captain has made the news for wrong reasons, just like many of his team-mates. But the year has still proved to be quite fruitful for the batsman. Though his team lost quite embarrassingly in its trips to India and England earlier this year, Michael Clarke’s batting performances kept the Australian momentum going. In the ongoing Ashes series against England too, Clarke has come out all guns blazing which has only boosted Australia’s chances in test cricket, going into the New Year.Batsmen who missed out: Shivnarine Chanderpaul, Hamish Rutherford, Chris Rogers, Brad Haddin and Jonathan Trott

Special Tribute: Jacques Kallis and Sachin Tendulkar, two of the finest test players who retirement stopped the cricketing world in its paces. These were players who were a class apart and whose performances never dipped low. They always rose to the occasion making their team, their country and their fans proud to watch them play the game, the way it was meant to be played.
