England's new status as Test cricket's top team is reflected in the International Cricket Council's Team of the Year with five Englishmen in a side picked by a selection panel chaired by West Indies batting great Clive Lloyd.
Batsmen Alastair Cook and Jonathan Trott, all-rounder Stuart Broad, fast bowler James Anderson and spinner Graeme Swann are in the side, with India's Sachin Tendulkar.
There are four South Africans: fast bowler Dale Steyn, batsmen Hashim Amla and AB de Villiers and allrounder Jacques Kallis.
Sri Lanka's Kumar Sangakkara is the captain and wicket-keeper and the Indian pace bowler Zaheer Khan the 12th man.
