Top 6 Test Bowlers of 2015 - The Bowling Stars

5. Mitchell Starc (Australia):

While the Australian speedster is the best, limited overs bowler of the year by a large margin, he couldn’t replicate his magic that well in the longer format. But even a modest year in Test cricket by his standards was good enough to earn him a place as one of the best bowlers. Earning a tally of 46 wickets in 11 Test matches is quite an impressive feat, especially considering that it has come at an impressive strike rate 44.7. Though he had a mixed Ashes, cemented his place in the playing XI due to his ability to move the ball at quite a high pace. He has been widely considered as a replacement for Johnson in the team, and the baton was truly passed when he broke the 160 kmph barrier during the series versus New Zealand. Though a stress fracture in the ankle came back to haunt him, he will be eager to get back into the groove as early as possible.
