[Richard]

Err - because he played damn superbly in India in 1992\93?

Has he not been eating enough beef or something?

 

[dass]

what do u mean, did he play county cricket there?

 

[Richard]

Err, no, he toured with England.

 

[dass]

i dont think that is the reason why he got the award, i mean there are tons of people who do well in india on tours so why not give the award to them too.

 

[Richard]

How do you know they didn't?

 

[dass]

look indian cricketer of the year is only awarded to people who play for india or have played in india at a county level. so i am not sure whats the deal here?

 

[Richard]

How do you know that?

You have a list of award-winners?

 

[Prince EWS]

look indian cricketer of the year is only awarded to people who play for india or have played in india at a county level.

That's obviously not true, because Hick won it in 1993.

 

[Richard]

Yeah, I might have done well to mention that!

Wrong, wrong and even more wrong.

Big List Here including Hayden, Trescothick, Cairns, Gough, Pollock, Flower, Gooch...

 

[Richard]

Even IT "the subcontinent is the place you should send your mother-in-law" Botham.

Anyway... that was the list I was hoping-for.

I think your error came because you thought the 'Indian ' in the Indian Cricketer of the Year Award refers to the 'Cricketer'. Actually it refers to the 'Award'. Simple

I stand corrected. It is NOT called the Indian Cricketer of the Year Award,

It is the Indian Cricket - Cricketer of the Year award. That makes it even clearer I suppose.

 

[dass]

oh true that is more clear.
