Bracewell's spell ranks pretty high in the awesome stakes too. Both got my votes anyway.

KP at Mumbai. Faf's was just inspirational and Amla's at Perth was sheer dominance, but KP's was something else. You should not have been able to play that innings on that pitch.

That's an amazing group of batting nominees. I don't expect them to go anywhere near winning against some of those monster knocks, but thrilled to see Taylor and Williamson get mentions - two of NZ's best Test innings in a long time, so it's great to see them get that recognition.

Amla's 196 at Perth in the batting performances for me. SA came in as a suspect No. 1 against a confident and building Australia. Australia scored more runs losing five wickets in the match than SA did losing fifteen in the first test and the second test headline screamed 'South Africa - the best test nation in the world - survives against Australia'.
Two low scores first up in the third test, Virus goes early in the 6th over at 28 and game on. After that, In 200 balls, Amla puts Australia out of the series that they've been on the prowl to win for the last 2 weeks. Great innings regardless but considering the context, absolutely glorious. KP's Mumbai heroics and Mahela deserve a mention too. 5-30 at Lord's in the bowling performances list. Have always been a massive fan of him for a while but this is the spell that really sold Vernon for me. No team ever could have stopped him from getting wickets that day. Fairly comfortably his best performance so far IMO.

I went with Faf (although there were plenty of good batting performances), and Rehman for Tests.
