Surely been a while since there was no Australian in the ODI team of the year

The standard of cricket that is being played internationally has really sunk in the last few years IMO.

Stuart Broad's inclusion in the test team of the year is testament to that. What a disgrace if he was in the best 11 players in the world in the last 12 months. Also good on him but surely Hasan from Bangladesh wasn't in the best 11 either.

Can someone provide these two players stats to make me feel better about their selections?
