Tale of the Tape - Who is our best batsman in the past 12 months?

Brendon??

Or

Kane??

Brendon has scored heavily in three test innings but is this enough to topple young Kane off the averages and runs scored in a calendar year perch?

In the spreadsheet below I have tallied all test innings, all ODI innings and all T20 innings seperately to give a synopsis of how they went in all three forms.  You'd think no surprises right?  And to get a balance of how well both batsmen have progressed through the year, a match up at the end of their combined runs from all three forms and a combined average.

Intrigued to see how they fared and who is best?
