Can be anything, though unlikely to be the England ODI team!
I suppose beating India was an achievement at least.

Being joint highest wicket taker for my Saturday league (shared it with Liam off here)
Being Player of the year for my Saturday side
Didn't have a bad season in 2014, hopefully 2015 will be just as good if not better :)

The coming together of the world's cricket family in grief following the death of Philip Hughes. It was as heart warming as it was spectacular and personally I was very proud to be part of the game that we all love in becoming united as one to remember one of our own.

James Taylor sticking 2 fingers up at the ECB selectors and scoring 90 on his long overdue return

Cheeky highlight from a Pom - seeing Pakistan smash Australia and then seeing the Kiwi's show Australia how to play :D

Oh and I am a huge fan of the crackdown on chucking.

Big highlight for me was watching my son bowl off his full run up and in the same match scoring a 170 unbroken partnership with him to win the game
Finally laying my hands on a special bat, was a prelude to a decent season for me with the bat with a new club
Managed to play about three times the number of games this year, including Sunday league,t20,friendlies and Saturday league cricket. Hopefully next season will be more of the same

Yep, at last!
Highlight of my clubs year was not getting relegated!

I'll second and third that.
Root's ascent.
The birth of Elliot a future England or Australian international depending on how well he develops!

The reemergence of Mitchell Johnson was a highlight for me. Fast bowling is pretty sparse in the modern era. Johnson's career seemed to have fizzled out. Played a Test in Mohali 2013, was pretty average. Missed the Ashes 2013.
But injuries to Pattinson, Starc and Bird saw Johnson return. And how he did. He was unplayable in the Ashes 2013/14 and in the tour of South Africa. A joy to see fast hostile bowling.
-
I have to agree about Johnson and the value to the game of truly fast bowling.
But the highlight of the year has to be Yorkshire's epic title winning season - comfortably the best First Class side in the world, they were an absolute joy to watch this year, playing aggressive, intelligent crickt throughout!

McCullum scoring the first 300 by a Kiwi. Long overdue and the feeling it brought to cricket lovers in NZ was amazing.

I reckon a couple of the Australian states could give them a very good run for their money when both are at full strength to be honest :D.

Agree about the Yorkshire side and their cracking season. To think there's Lyth, Lees, Ballance, Root, Bairstow, Rashid, Brooks, Bresnan & Plunkett all in the England set-up or in the reckoning!
-
How about Yorkshire vs England?
-
Yorkshire all the way! Seriously though, it'd be a close match.

Depends. If root ballance and plunkett are on England's team then a good game.
If there on yorkshires side then England have no chance.
