They should just punch each other in the face like they do in hockey!

I've remembered every MOTM award, from every test match, played in the last two weeks.

4 below par innings scores suggests a helpful bowling pitch. Scoring an unbeaten ton as opener in your second test in the fourth innings is pretty special...almost carried his side through too.

The people that got them? Yep, them. No one remembers what happens in random Twenty20 internationals, shall we not have them too?
If no one cares, don't have MoMs. If they do (and clearly they do, there's a thread on them plus quite a few articles) then don't use a Mickey Mouse voting system where people from one country are allowed to vote DURING the Test (not at the conclusion) on text messaging.

I'm really surprised it's got so much press and general attention. It was a bit dire but in the end it's a very meh issue for me.
And that's coming from someone who would never, ever give the award to a player from the losing side under any circumstances.

Had the Australian public not voted Warner as MOTM, but it been a panel of cricket experts or whatever, it would not have got the attention it has.
It was **** that people can vote for MOTM. This is the main gripe, and they are using this as an avenue to prove it really.

I actually think the most ridiculous thing about it was that you had to vote before the match even ended, even though it had gone down to the wire.
Half the people who voted for Warner probably thought Australia were going to win anyway.

Reminds me of the 2002 AFL Grand Final, where the expert panel chose the Norm Smith medallist (best on ground) around 10 minutes before the finish or something.
A player who didn't get it, Michael Voss, played amazingly from that point and arguably won his team the game, but it was too late.

Exactly. And it's been turned into a good old fashioned jingoistic Trans-Tasman dustup when it's nothing of the sort.

I think they just hoped it would be a bit longer before the obvious flaws in such a system were exposed. I think 9 out of 10 test matches wouldn't have produced such a controversial result. I think it's a good thing that something liked this happened and the madness was stopped before it could get widely accepted by the public.

Already knew Clarke's a ****. Didn't need lack of respect for winning opposition to tell me that
