Year 2015 - All Top Stats from Tests
The year 2015 had been one of the finest in terms in test cricket With all tests scheduled in this year concluded with the English victory of 241 runs over Proteas, we shall have no change in the test statistics of this year. The year 2015 had been one of the finest in terms in test cricket. We saw wonderful bowling performances all around the globe with Ashwin, Broad, Yasir, Anderson etc. tumbling wickets throughout the year. Some fine batting heroics from Adam Voges, Alastair Cook, Joe Root, Smith, Warner and Williamson made it a fantastic year for batsmen as well.
West Indies cricket went to its extreme low during this year winning just one game while Australia won most number of test matches this year. South Africa had a humiliating test series defeat in India after they had won limited format series. Some record-breaking partnerships also featured in the record books again this year.
