Best Poster
A tough one this. I get different qualities from different posters. I would say that the best all-round poster (despite being a total ****) is NZTailender, or geg if you will. Top year from the ****, ban aside,

Best Thread
You know what really grinds my gears? remains the flagship thread for OT. It was ran close by this bad boy though (both geg threads, interestingly).

Best Board
Dev League. CC has seen an influx braindead trolls of late and OT has had a lot of political bollocks that has gone round in circles, has been otherwise decent this year though (it always is). Devvers is so much fun, it's probably the reason I've doubled my post count this year.

Funniest Poster
sledger, no contest

Funniest Post
Milk geg's ****ing horses!

Best Post
Gonna shoot with this one, as it was the guy's first post, a great way to start off life at CW (compared to what seems to be the accepted way of doing it: "Australia are ****e lolzzz )

Best Newcomer
Uppercut - a class act

Most loyal fan
Smitteh stays up to watch citeh no matter what the ungodly hour is, WAG

Most deprived fan
Unfortunately, citeh are ****e, so Smitteh can have this one as well

Pessimist of the year
wpdavid, you can always count on him to remind you how **** it is being an English cricket fan

The "Food? Sleep? Toilet? He/She's Always on CricketWeb!!" Award
Mitchell can't have this this year as he has been a lot quieter. Richard takes the cake.

Prediction for which new poster will make it big in 2009
No idea

Lifetime Achievement Award
Top_Cat, seems to post more than he has done before in at least my three years of being here, has been at CW since pretty much the start and is a top, top poster

The "We Miss You" Award
sledger, obv

Best CW Nationality
sledger's English, Smitteh's Australian, ooooh what a toughie, going with the crims this year as they have been very graceful about their cricket team not ruling the roost anymore, and also Nath

Best at using
Voltman, obv

Hadn't seen that best post before. Seems interesting but will have to read it later as there's a Bulls game on.

The funniest poster for me is Burgey. Rarely fails to draw a chuckle. I also propose we rename the "We Miss You" award the "sledger tribute" award.

It was unfair draging: CDM, Sanz and me into that. I know sometimes we get a bit muddled up with our posts, but I don't thinkwe have ever tried to offend anyone.
