9) Sulieman Benn (West Indies)
The only Caribbean in the list, slow left-arm orthodox and 6'7” Sulieman Benn is at no. 9. He has 30 wickets in 11 innings in his name at an economy of 2.43 and an average of 28.30.
He picked up his first five wicket haul (5/93) of the year against New Zealand in June 2014. He followed this performance with another 5-wicket and his year best of 5/39 in first test against Bangladesh in September and added two more in second innings to record his best match figures (7/83) of the year.
In the same month and in the 2nd innings of second test against Bangladesh, he came up with another five wicket haul and second best (5/72) and recorded his another match best of (7/91).
10) Shaminda Eranga (Sri Lanka)
The third Sri Lankan in the list, pacer Shaminda Eranga sits at the last position in the list. He has 29 wickets in 15 test innings at an economy of 2.96 and an average of 31.48.
He may not have any five-wicket haul in the year but his career best bowling performance (4/49) in an innings of test cricket against the hosts Bangladesh in first test in January 2014 certainly led the island nation to a huge victory by 248 runs.
He recorded his career best match figures of 6/226 against England in the 1st Investec test in June 2014. He bagged 3/163 in first innings and 3/63 in second in order to achieve the feat.
He followed this up by his second best match figures in the year (5/131) in the second Investec test.
Shaminda Eranga's ODI and Test debuts were both spectacular. In his first ODI, against Australia in 2011, he needed only two balls to make an impact, bowling Brad Haddin through the gate. An even more memorable dismissal followed, when Ricky Ponting failed to read his slower ball and pushed back a return catch.
He then made his Test debut against the same opposition, and became only the second Sri Lankan and 15th bowler in the history of test cricket to strike with his very first delivery, when he dismissed Shane Watson.
