Cricketer Of The Year

But once he's scored 300 runs in the first two matches against Australia and led them to an unassailable 2-0 lead by the end of 2008, I reckon he'll be right up there.

IF he does that, he'll be the undisputed choice and I doubt many will complain at his victory.

Even the biggest Smith fan on the forum (ie, me), however, can't see that that's very likely.

Steyn to rip through Australia and bag a 10 for, and thus making him the undisputed cricketer of the year.

The guy has scored all his runs against SL in SL, against Aus at home and Eng at home.

I think for me Steyn has been the cricketer of the year and even the bowler of the year by a distance, the guy has simply been awesome, he has made huge contribution to almost every game his country has won this year and that' a big achievement for any player, on top of that his wicket taking form has almost been freakish, so i think he deserves both titles, my choice for batsman of the year would be Smith, not only is he the leading run scorer this year in test cricket, but his ability to play awesome knocks in the 4th innings of important games is very impressive, his knock at Edgbaston, his century at Perth and even his 75 today at the MCG (despite having a chronic tennis elbow problem), are all knocks that display a lot of character and class.

Cricketer of the year- Dale Steyn

Bowler of the year- Dale Steyn

Batsmen : Virender Sehwag or Graeme Smith.. Both has been brilliant and came to the party at crucial times for their respective sides. Sehwag's double hundred against SL was one of the best when all his team mates were clueless against Mendis. Also the match saving 150-odd in Adelaide, 80-odd against England. All vital ones. Same goes with smith,
100's in Australia, Match winning 150 odd against England in the run chase plus the highest run scorer in 2008. Has to be any one of these 2.

Bowler : Steyn rules this part, an amazing performer. Also Zaheer for me as a contender, a very underrated bowler. Bowled brilliantly all through 2008. Got wickets at the crucial times.

Also Mitchell Johnson, Australia's best bowler of the year. Did well against India in India, Against New Zealand and now against SA.

Man its fun being a fanboy of someone who I hoped would never get another test after SA.

EDIT: Steyn has been the best of the year by a few million miles though, certainly setting himself up to be someone batsmen hate for a long time to come.
