His stats for the timeperiod in question have been impressive:
80 wickets in just 17 Tests @ around 27, 632 runs @ 30.09. Just because he had a poor series in England, doesn't invalidate what went before I think. Still, Strauss got lots of runs and galvanised England from a dire winter so could have got it, albeit only in the second half of this timeperiod. |

Utter joke decision tbh. I think I'm going to start a 'Mitchell Johnson is not Test class' thread, what an utterly horrid bowler

![]() Johnson had a poor Ashes series, despite what stats say and a largely very good one against the Saffers home and away. He still was tonked around a bit by them but redeemed himself with the bat at times or some freakish spells with the ball. |

A SA perspective on the awards. Highlights include: Quite how Andrew Strauss’ exploits overshadowed Smith’s series-defining centuries at Lord’s, Edgbaston, Perth and Melbourne will never be known. he England captain is a fine player, but Smith’s performances were so convincing that they changed his standing in Australia, which is no mean feat in itself. Duminy himself had a case for being named Emerging Player of the Year, as no other player this year walked into a side and belonged quite as he did. His maiden century at the MCG was so complete an innings that icons such as Ian Chappell, Mark Taylor and Tony Greig were lost for words. He carried that form into the home series and the ODIs, so the question is why did he not even get on the shortlist? Peter Siddle won the award, and as heartily as he ran in, the Victorian came nowhere near the heights that Duminy reached. Quite what leadership Dhoni displayed over the last 12 months remains a John Grisham special, but there he is — recognised as the best leader in the game this year. AB de Villiers had a similarly stellar year, showing incredible temperament in England before showing his class in Australia. The writer also believes that Pakistan and SL were shortchanged and India treated too kindly. |

Off-field reasons? Of which of course he is currently not guilty.

I can't see that having any bearing whatsoever. I'd like to know what the criteria were though

What are 6 Australians doing in the cricketer of year list? Ponting, Harris, Bollinger??? They shouldn't be anywhere near that list. No Morgan in the ODI nominations doesn't make sense either.

Why there isn't a 20:20 cricketer of the year award, I'm not sure. Quote:
That doesn't shout out player of the year. Pass. |

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. Just looking at the Test nominees and how they did - Test Player of the Year Amla - 9 Tests 923 runs at 65.92 Anderson - 8 Tests 41 wickets at 22.53 Asif - 10 Tests 51 wickets at 23.39 Bollinger - 9 Tests 42 wickets at 22.71 Dhoni - 9 Tests 594 runs at 66.00 Iqbal - 7 Tests 837 runs at 59.78 Jayawardena - 7 Tests 849 runs at 70.75 Kallis - 9 Tests 849 runs at 60.64 Katich - 9 Tests 991 runs at 61.93 Sangakkara - 7 Tests 867 runs at 78.81 Samaraweera - 7 Tests 625 runs at 78.12 Sehwag - 10 Tests 1282 runs at 85.46 Dale Steyn - 8 Tests 41 wickets at 20.78 Graeme Swann - 10 Tests 49 wickets at 27.55 Sachin Tendulkar - 10 Tests 1064 runs at 81.84 Shane Watson - 9 Tests 750 runs at 46.87 ~ 24 wickets at 20.87 No Bell 8 Tests 719 runs at 65.36 (Trott 47.68, Cook 42.88, Prior 35.30, Strauss 36.84, Collingwood 50.25, Pietersen 42.00 ~ Broad 8 Tests 28 wickets at 32.03, Finn 6 Tests 27 wickets at 21.85 |

I thought the last lot of awards didn't include the Ashes, even though they were announced after the Ashes, or something similarly ridiculous. |

Ravindra Jadeja as the emerging player of the year?
That has to be the worst nomination this year. |
