2023 BBC Test team of the year
2023 BBC Test team of the year:
1. Usman Khawaja (Australia, 93%)
2. Dimuth Karunaratne (Sri Lanka, 55%)
3. Joe Root (England, 82%)
4. Kane Williamson (New Zealand, 58%)
5. Virat Kohli (India, 54%)
6. Ben Stokes (England, 55%)
7. Jonny Bairstow (England, 49%)
8. Ravindra Jadeja (India, 51%)
9. Pat Cummins (Australia, 74%)
10. Stuart Broad (England, 81%)
11. Mitchell Starc (Australia, 75%)
Those who narrowly missed out: Harry Brook (England, 48%), Travis Head (Australia, 46%), Ravichandran Ashwin (India, 47%), Nathan Lyon (Australia, 70%)
The percentages represent the number of people voting for each player. How that results in Jadeja with 51% getting in ahead of Lyon with 70% and more wickets for the year is not clear 🤔
And then there’s the wicketkeeper 🙄
I guess it shows that the BBC and its audience aren’t great judges of cricketers.
