Sehwag's impressed me in ODIs, slightly more than Sarwan.

Samuels seems to have come of age (sheesh he's only like 20 isn't he?) in Tests so I'll go for him...

Vaughan for Most Outstanding player because he really has had some year.

Nathan Astle's 222 by far the best Innings.

If there was an award for the best non-international innings it's got to be Ali Brown's 268...you don't go and score more runs than most batsmen in 4 days games can manage...in a 50 over OD game. Scoreboard

Scorecard for Astle's Innings

Astle's Innings, a great innings in a superb, if slightly one sided, match. Superb batting by both teams though, which made it such a good match in my opinion.

International Captain
matt hayden should probably get most outstanding player of the year over dravid as dravid basically only played well against england(no offense but every1 knows how bad they r)where as hayden played well against india(always hard for an aussie as they rn't used to slow turning wickets)pakistan and england. And as it is look at the amount of experience dravid's had compared to haydo. Best innings this year would b astle's. best ODI i would also say hayden. i mean just last night he cracked 98 off 85 balls!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! did u see wat he did in the kenya and pakistan triangular!!!!! and the ICC Champions trophy. for young ODI batsman i would say mohammed kaif and in tests probably patel(he's 17!!! and he's handled the pressure pretty damn well).
