No Marc this week, so I will have to live and die by my own sword. A little late, and still not much cricket on.
We would love some help, especially from someone who follows the fortunes of one of the subcontinent teams, you would only have to pick a couple of awards each week
The CW Awards Team
Alternative (milestones)
Marc (awards judge)
Aussie Dominance (Sobers and Gatting/Rana awards judge)
Archie (whatever else is left over)

Best of The Best
1. Shahid Afridi Award for (Best post of the week) Like an innings by the great man, it does not have to be very long, to be great viewing. And the Winner is: LongHopCassidy for this click here A close run thing this week, a couple of quality posts both for and against the captaincy of SRW
2. Shane Warne Award for (Best thread of the week) Like his bowling it must be interesting but just like his private life it can also be controversial. And the Winner is Turbinator for this click here , Why not China, it would be good to see
3. The Skull Award (Funniest poster for the week) Just like the king of the one liner Kerry O’Keefe, can also be serious. And the Winner is: LongHopCassidy for this click here Even though it was from today, and should strictly not be considered, it made me laugh. Still a good idea for a thread imo
4. The Sobers Award (Most varied poster of the week) The true all-rounder of CW you must be able to contribute to a number of threads. And the Winner is: silentstriker , he loves to win, and contributes a lot to the site, with a skin as thick as a Rhino.
5. Tony Greig Award (Worst prediction of the week) Will he ever live down that ‘We will make them grovel’ prediction re- the West Indies? And the Winner is: No award this week , I thought we would have one from the ICC CT but the thread has not been opened yet?
6. Inzamam Award (Vaguest poster of the week) We are not sure what he is talking about, but we hope he knows. And the Winner is: Turbinator click here
You will have to explain this one to me, why would writing left handed enable him to write faster?
7. The Sir Geoffrey Award (Most knowledgeable poster of the week) We were going to call this the Richie Benaud award, but after speaking to Boycs, he assured us he new twice as much as Richie. And the Winner is: Lillian Thomson, knows his stuff but does not post enough for mind (is it mind or mine?)
8. The Bradman Award (Overall CW poster of the week) Simply the best no matter what the debate or criteria. And the Winner is: No award this week. Can someone please email me next week if they think someone deserves this award. And no you can’t nominate yourself SS
Agarkar/Mohammed award for ('At least their trying' award)
just like the players this award is named after, they may not be quite good enough for any other award, but at least we remember them. And the Winner is: pietersenrocks, Two user names but only one award
10. The Patrick Eagar award for great photography, because we have named this
award after the greatest cricket action photographer, it will only be awarded when someone reaches a high standard of snaps. And the Winner is: No award this week
The Gatting V Rana award for the best debate of the week, and the winners are: Is Ganguly one of the greatest click here Good debate generated by this thread. Some of his off side shots were just about the best I have seen from a lefty
Please remember, these awards are not officially endorsed by CW management
