Anyone else here what Atherton just said on commentary about the ICC shortlist for the players of the year?

It is a disgrace.

What did he say?

 

[Howsie]

You'd better enlighten us.

He's just having a moan because no English cricketer is on the cricketer of the year shortlist for the ICC awards.

 

[Pothas]

Not a single England player on the list but 6 Australians!

Yes I did 6 Aus players and not 1 English.Aus players include Harris,Bollinger,Johnson,Clarke,Watson.I can't believe the likes of Swann, Morgan and even Anderson haven't been put up.

 

[Spark]

Swann deserves to be on for sure. Clarke, Watson, yeah I guess. Morgan not getting in is spot on, but Harris?!

If it's overall then Morgan should defo be on there, Anderson should be on there for Tests and the lack of Swann is farcical.

Swann not getting into the shortlist is just lol.

 

[Jayzamann]

I'm an Australian supporter foremost, but I also think myself to be quite rational. That shortlist is ridiculous.

 

[Jacknife]

It obviously includes ODi cricket so why not Morgan if Harris is their.Harris has only a couple of tests behind him like Morgan.

Tests > ODIs and Morgan hasn't really done enough in Tests to justify. I agree with you that Harris being anywhere near that list is nothing short of laughable.

 

[Scaly piscine]

That stuff needs a new thread so I can look and have a proper rant.

 

[GIMH]

Yeah, someone with the full list start a thread please

 

[pasag]

ICC officially recognising the poms are mediocre is one of the better things they've done in recent times.

/final troll for the night.

 

[Jarquis]

Surprised nobody has a made a thread about this yet.

Saw it mentioned on twitter whilst on the bus home, and quite frankly the proposed shortlists are a bit of a joke.

So not a single Englishman for the Cricketer of the year?

Swann might feel aggrieved not to have joined the 16-strong shortlist for the top gong, having taken 49 Test wickets at 27.55 and 28 one-day wickets at 23 in the qualification period.

He ****ing should feel aggrieved.

 

[superkingdave]

What is the qualification period?

tbh Swann probably the only one who deserved a nomination from England.

Surprised that Bresnan got nominated for emerging player

The judging period is from 1 August to 31 July the next year.

Good to see Tamim get a Test nomination

Pretty tough to take these seriously with picks like that...
