All time great ODI knock? Certainly one of the best by a NZlnder.

Nope, that rule only applies when Australia lose, like last game & the rugby league world-cup.
If the side winning or losing doesn't matter (which I think it should always go to someone from the winning side 99% of the time), there's a good argument for Elliot getting in, especially since he got a couple of wickets as well

Yeah, winning is not important! Elliott won it for Kiwis in last game yet Clarke got MoM for his super slow 98.At least Elliot should get the MOTM award nowHe scored more than Haddin yes?
Elliott took 2 wickets and a superb ton. He should be the MoM!

One of the kiwi players - not sure who it was. Was a 'great effort' type gesture, but right on the hurt shoulder.

"Brad Haddin has been adjudicated as the Man of the Match"
What a joke .... do the aussies who pick it have no shame ??
Elliott = more runs and more wickets than haddin (but on the losing team.. no man of the match)
Clarke = on the losing team... man of the match
Dont get me started on the rugby league final...

It was decided via some stupid voting system or what?

No, more simple than that, they get an Australian to select an Australian player, thats all

To be honest, Haddin is hardly undeserving of the man of the match award tonight - he played the innings that essentially won the match for his side which is surely a strong factor in deciding who gets the award! I think Elliott was probably equally as deserving and had he carried on for another 3 or 4 overs and brought New Zealand closer to victory, I'm sure he would've received it. Forget about Clarke getting it the other day as a base for giving out the award, agreed that that was nonsense.

Yeah I have no issue with Haddin getting it either, but if Clarke got it in Melbourne, Elliott should have got it here.

Same.
Haddin getting the MotM tonight isn't a problem.
It was the Melbourne MotM that was rubbish......

Thats why I mentioned using Clarke's award on Friday as a base for giving out tonight's award is a bit silly. Give it to the most deserving player who had the biggest influence on the match and tonight IMO that was Haddin.

Yeah, the point though is that they're not even consistent. It's one thing to just have a different criteria, but they just seem to be flat-out biased.
