1. D Elgar
2. K Brathwaite
3. C Pujara
4. S Smith
5. V Kohli
6. K Williamson
7. M Rahim+
8. N Wagner (3)
9. N Lyon (4)
10. K Rabada (2)
11. J Anderson (1)
Brathwaite gets the nod as there weren't many stand outs after Elgar, so did it on away performance, of which Brathwaite scored the most runs (605), averaging 46.
3-6 pretty self explanatory.
de Kock has worked wonders in making 419 @ 32 look better than 541 @ 67.62 in 6 more innings than the Bangladeshi.
Anderson and Rabada the standout opening bowlers, while Wagner was the only seamer bowling first change or more to take more than 30 wickets and did it at tick under 25 per wicket with an eye-popping 41 sr.
Lyon the most profitable spinner by some margin, away from home taking his wickets <20. The pretenders Ashjeda couldn't get close. Only Shah took more wickets away (2) albeit for 9 runs more per wicket.

Couldn't remember how Rabada goes with the bat but now that I think about it, it should probably be Rabada, Wags, Lyon and Anderson

This is a tough one.
There have been some standouts and a lot of mediocre players. PLus a lot of players have had stats heightened by weak opposition in home conditions (Kohli, Jadeja).
I'd go for something like
1. Elgar (Scored big at home but also toughed it out a bit in England)
2. Amla/Rahul
3. Williamson
4. Pujara
5. Smith c
6. QDK wk
7. Ali
8. Starc
9. Hazlewood
10. Lyon
11. Rabada
Root, Kohli, Sarfraz, Jimmy, Herath and a few others could probably sneak in. Not bothered if some have it different. There have only been about 3 stand outs, Smith, Lyon and Rabada.

Kohli captain and Ashwin's presence quite questionable. Edit: maybe Ashwin did better in the stated time period.

What about leaving one from Lyon and then reviewing it
