ICC Team of the year

KP and Sidebottom named in the team of the year..

I dont think there is any surprise that KP is in that mix. There is no doubt he is one of the worlds top batsmen in all forms of the game. His form since taking over as captain has been the most impressive since many tipped his batting to suffer.
