Cricinfo
'The nominations, which recognise cricketing achievement for the period between 24 August 2009 and 10 August 2010, were made by a five-man selection panel chaired by Clive Lloyd, chairman of the ICC cricket committee. The panel also includes former international players Angus Fraser, Matthew Hayden, Ravi Shastri and Duncan Fletcher'.

Swann looks the odd one out there, bowling average over 27 compared to the rest of the bowlers.

Swann also fhe onlt one to average what he did woth the bat tbf

 

[Smudge]

EPO please!

 

[Sir Alex]

I think Sehwag will take this... Deservingly.

 

[Sir Alex]

Average of 21 with the bat? Not sure..

 

[L Trumper]

Swann is a spinner averaging 27 with the ball and probably the best match winner among the list during last year. On contrast to those aussie quicks bowl against WI, PAK, NZ and boosted their averages.
Who the **** cares though..

Steyn/Sehwag for Test
Watto for ODI
Sachin for Player (Sehwag outside chance)
Aamir for Emerging

Nominations are cadswallop..

 

[Teja.]

The only awards I really care about now, are the Wisden ones.

 

[AaronK]

I thought Morgan should have been in the list of emerging player list..just nominated though..

the winner should be Muhmmad Aamir though..

 

[Jono]

I think Sehwag will take this... Deservingly.

Nah Sachin will I reckon. Done way better in ODIs than Sehwag.

 

[Cevno]

Asoka De Silva nominated for umpire of the year!

 

[Cevno]

Easy to forget the fact Watto's ODI record is seriously good tbh. Averages over 40 with the bat and under 30 with the ball; as far as I can see, Klusener and RTD are the only other two players in the same boat, and RTD obvs. fairly inflated from playing minnows all the time.

Greg Chappell.

 

[Cevno]

Steyn/Sehwag for Test
Watto for ODI
Sachin for Player (Sehwag outside chance)
Aamir for Emerging

Nominations are cadswallop..

Pretty much agree with this.

Sachin has to be the real Frontrunner for the overall award.


Btw,they Don't have a T20 player of the year award?

 

[Craig]

Umpire of the Year: Billy Bowden, Aleem Dar, Steve Davis, Asoke de Silva, Billy Doctrove, Marais Erasmus, Ian Gould, Tony Hill, Daryl Harper, Rudi Koertzen, Asad Rauf, Simon Taufel and Rod Tucker

 

[Matt79]

Glad they put Swann in. Deserves to be on the list, and if Clive Lloyd is man enough to admit that he feels they stuffed up by leaving him off, caps off Big Cat.

 

[L Trumper]

Pretty much agree with this.

Sachin has to be the real Frontrunner for the overall award.


Btw,they Don't have a T20 player of the year award?

They have T20 performance in a game.. That should be hussey's(60*) I reckon, or that WI woman who scored a 100.

 

[Jono]

So far:

Test award: Sehwag
ODI award: AB Devilliers
T20 performance of the year award: Brendon McCullum
Test captain: Dhoni
Test team: Dhoni, Sehwag, Kumar Sangakkara, Graeme Swann, Tendulkar, Hashim Amla, Simon Katich, Dale Steyn, Jacques Kallis, James Anderson and Doug Bollinger
ODI captain: Ponting
ODI team: Ponting, Tendulkar, Shane Watson, Michael Hussey, AB de Villiers, Paul Collingwood, Dhoni, Daniel Vettori, Suart Broad, Bollinger and Ryan. Harris

Intriguing, I wonder if Sachin will take the overall award out.

 

[Teja.]

At the age of 37. Take a bow, Sir!

Tendulkar is the ICC cricketer of the year.

 

[Jono]

Intriguing, I wonder if Sachin will take the overall award out.

Yes he indeed does!

Good result. He was definitely the best player over the two formats this year. Sehwag may have just pipped him in tests, and Devilliers may have just pipped him in ODIs, but definitely the best cricketer this year overall.

 

[four_or_six]

I don't really remember AB in ODIs this last year... must have passed me by.

 

[Jono]

I don't really remember AB in ODIs this last year... must have passed me by.

I thought the exact thing when I saw AB had beaten Sachin actually.

Looked over his year though, and it's pretty damn good. He actually scored three centuries on the trot, and four in six innings.

de Villiers displaces Dhoni as No. 1 ODI batsman

Figured Sachin's 200* would put him over the line, but not to be.
