Need a deciding vote

Tough call.

I'm going Usman. Just. Awesome as Ecclestone has been. Teams don't often win away v Pakistan.

Got to be Usman

looks like Usman

20 wickets at 12's against the best players in the world and in the biggest tournament.

It might be harsh, but she came up void in the final and took a pasting, which decides it for me.

She was on a bit of a hiding to nothing in the end. Her first 7 overs went for under 5 an over but she didn't get a wicket. She got tonked in the last 3, but that was when Australia were 300-3 so not much chance of keeping a lid on things.

Still, agreed, which is why I went for Usman as well.

Jos Buttler is my nominee for the April player of the Month. 8 innings for Rajasthan with 3 half centuries and 3 centuries. Doesn't get much better than that.

If I were to jump the gun *slightly* I'd put him up there with Usman Khawaja in Cricketer of the Yeat category.

Chet Pujara would be my biased nominee...but secondary, I'd take butter

hard to see past Buttler, really

Agreed, Jos.

So that makes

Jan - Heather Knight
Feb - Shadab Khan
March - Usman Khawaja
Apri; - Jos Buttler

Struggled a bit with this one this month however I am going to go for sustained success in Test cricket and vote for Angelo Matthews. Two centuries in three innings is not to be sniffed at. I fully expect to be over ruled though.

Matty Potts

No real standouts. Ben Compton maybe? Matthews is a reasonable shout.

Was tempted by Compton....but felt I was bias.

Still on a Kent theme, Nishan Madushka's double ton for a Sri Lanka Development XI against Kent was a huge performance....but had underwhelmed on the rest of the tour.
