Top 10 Test Bowlers of the Year 2015

#8 Dhammika Prasad

Dhammika Prasad has become Sri Lanka's frontline pace bowler in whites

Bowling on the hard sub-continental wickets could be torturous for fast bowlers. But Sri Lanka’s lion-hearted new ball bowler, showed he can still be the spearhead of the bowling attack after Muralitharan’s exodus.

Prasad is nippy and can move the ball both ways and in 9 Tests he picked up a very respectable 41 wickets at an excellent average of 24.95. His strike-rate of 44.3, mostly under hot demanding conditions adds value to his performances.

Prasad picked 15 wickets against India in 3 Tests, the most by a fast bowler in that series, a performance that stood out during the year.
