Johan

Cricketer Of The Year
Viv/Lloyd – Viv over Ponting for me by a pretty discernible margin, more discernible than Lloyd and Waugh.

Barry/Pollock – I'll stick my neck out here but Sehwag was actually awful when the conditions were tough for batting and when the pace bowling was favoured, literally a waste of space, I can't place him above Barry, and Sachin can't beat the combined forces of Barry and the Old time Maestro.

Younis/Inzi – once again, Sanath was not a factor when the ball started doing tricks and was not a great player of fast bowling, accross conditions, I bet that the Pakistani batters will outperform.

Smith/Labu – rather straightforward here.

no comment on Hobbs and Hutton vs the Three Ws, very hard for me.

ABD/Amla – this one is not even close, Amla and Kohli are in the same tier, ABD decently but not massively so ahead, Pujara a rung below Amla and Kohli.

no comment on this.

Cook/Strauss – Cook the key here.

Hobbs and Sutcliffe played the same amount of innings as each other. So did the 3 W’s.

Pairings of Anwar/Sohail and Kirsten/Hudson did overall have the same amount too.
