ICC Awards 2007 - Ponting, Jayawardene vie for Captain of the Year

[SJS]

Would think it would be hard to "emerge" as a cricketer twice, but such things are never particularly well defined.

Yes. Like Kumble is still 'emerging".....as a test batsman

when does odi and test player awards come out and how in gods name is ponting not in the test team much better than vaughn

 

[silentstriker]

Ponting not in the Test team is quite peculiar indeed.

 

[JASON]

Ponting not in the Test team is quite peculiar indeed.

No he is. Thats why there are only 10 others named.

 

[JASON]

Hmm, I think this explains a lot.

Ponting - Test Player, Ponting - Captain , Ponting Cricketer of the Year.
Tait Emerging Player of the year, Hayden ODI player of the Year, Taufel Umpire of the Year..... That should explain a lot more.....

Associate Player of the Year won by Thomas Odoyo
Women Cricketer of the Year won by Jhulan Goswami

Disappointing. I thought ten Doeschate would be the associate player of the year (has the fact he's a Saffer counted against him?) and my missus wasn't even nominated in the Women Cricketer of the Year. I'll have to let her down gently. Tact will be required.... I don't have much tact.

Oh, so there is bias? That is what you seem to be implying. Name a player that you think should of got one of these awards instead the one that got it. I'd bet the Aussie would have a stronger claim to it.

Geez you're hopeless Jason. Taufel is the best umpire in the world, Hayden had the best run in ODI's, Tait had a very good World Cup, Ponting didn't even win Test player but his exploits as Test captain have been very notable (Champions Trophy, Ashes, World Cup). Get over yourself man, Australia are dominating so it's more likely their players will get recognised.

Yeah, what the hell? RTD should've been a certainty.

Yeah. I'd say the only one of those open for debate would be Tait as emerging player. The others were pretty much dead certs.

 

[Nate]

Yeah, what the hell? RTD should've been a certainty.

Why sorry?

 

[Chemosit]

Yeah, what the hell? RTD should've been a certainty.

Statistically, not much between them for the period under consideration.
Ten Doeschate had the best batting average of all the Associate players nominated (52.67 compared to Odoyo, who was second with 48.56).

Odoyo the best bowling average with 26 wickets at 20.88, Ten Doeschate was 4th with 22 wickets at 24.14.

The main difference is that Odoyo's efforts contributed to more wins than Ten Doeschate.

A good decision I think, though I'm surprised no Irishmen made the final shortlist.

Top post. Are your stats solely for ODIs?

 

[pup11]

And the winners are..
ICC PLAYER OF THE YEAR- R.Ponting
TEST PLAYER- M.Yousuf
ODI PLAYER- M.Hayden
CAPTAIN OF THE YEAR- R.Ponting
EMERGING PLAYER- S.Tait
UMPIRE OF THE YEAR- S.Taufel
ASSOCIATE PLAYER- T.Odoyo
I think all the blokes on that list fully deserve the awards (except Odoyo, i think RTD should have won in that category hands down), i can't understand why there is so much fuss about Tait winning the emerging player award his closest rival was Taylor but he had a horrible World cup which pretty much ruled him out and on the other hand Tait took 23 World cup wickets which is really a big deal especially for a man playing his first World cup.

Cry me a river

 

[Nishan]

Pretty good selections but as a Lankan i want to grumble Why murali missed out on test player,

Anyway also biased but i would have thought Charmara Silva was a pretty good emerging player more than say Bopara or Saqib

 

[Perm]

Yeah. I'd say the only one of those open for debate would be Tait as emerging player. The others were pretty much dead certs.

Exactly, or even Ponting as Player of the Year, not exactly sure what the criteria is for that award though.
