Line and Length
Cricketer Of The Year
Interesting to see Horace 'Jock' Cameron make the list. He is certainly a 'blast from the past'. Playing only 26 Tests before his tragic death in 1935, his raw stats are nothing outstanding. However, he was regarded as the greatest 'keeper of his time and, as a hard hitting bat, once took 30 runs off a Hedley Verity over.
With 'keeper/batsmen in vogue with our voting, I was just a little surprised to note that Alec Stewart hasn't received a single nomination. He, like Sangakarra, was a far better bat when not the nominated keeper in a side.
