ICC awards: Mitchell Johnson wins top two accolades

Australia fast bowler Mitchell Johnson has been named both the cricketer of the year and Test cricketer of the year by the International Cricket Council.
Johnson, 33, also won cricketer of the year in 2009 and is only the second player after Ricky Ponting to win the Sir Garfield Sobers Trophy twice.
England batsman Gary Ballance won the emerging cricketer of the year award.
England Women wicketkeeper-batsman Sarah Taylor was named the women’s ODI cricketer of the year.During the voting period between 26 August 2013 and 17 September 2014, Johnson claimed 59 Test wickets at an average of 15.23, with best bowling figures of seven for 40 runs against England in Adelaide last December.
He is the third Australian after Ponting and Michael Clarke to win the Test cricketer prize.
In one-day internationals, Johnson took 21 wickets in 16 games.
“I’m very happy with where I am at the moment and I want to keep getting better as a cricketer,” he said.
“This is something that I’ll be able to look back on in time when my career is over and be exceptionally proud of.”
England Women’s captain Charlotte Edwards missed out on the people’s choice award, which went to India bowler Bhuvneshwar Kumar.
Stuart Broad and Joe Root were named in the Test team of the year, but no England players featured in the ODI XI.
