Test Batting: Michael Clarke 151 v South Africa at Cape Town
Test Bowling: Dale Steyn 5-75 v India at Cape Town
I've gone for Michael Clarke's 151 v South Africa at Cape Town as it was a difficult pitch to bat on against a very good attack. Looked like he was batting on a different pitch against a different attack to everyone else in the game.
There were quite a lot of contenders for best bowling, which I think is a good sign, but I've gone for Dale Steyn's performance at Cape Town against India. He swung the ball and troubled all the batsmen on the 3rd day and I don't think his figures reflect how well he bowled. Doug Bracewell's 6-40 against Australia a very close second.
ODI Batting: Kevin O'brien 113 v England at Bangalore
ODI Bowling: Stuart Broad v South Africa at Chennai
Kevin O'brien for his stunning knock against a good attack at practically 2 a ball, to win it for Ireland from a position of no hope.
Stuart Broad gets the bowling honours for bowling England to victory in a low scoring thriller.
Can't really think about the T20 performances (there weren't many this year.) JP Duminey at Cape Town against Australia or Kevin Pietersen against India at Kolkata. Ravi Bopara a good shout for bowling performance of the year against the West Indies at the Oval.
