Thanks for running this again, AC.
Can I put in a bid that the women's cricketer category be expanded to three this year? With so many good performances in the world cup plus the Ashes, having just one seems quite restrictive.

Thanks.
Thinking about who I'd nominate this year, and to me there haven't been many real standouts. Lots of players who've done well, but compared to last year's winners, not a lot of real 'wow' factor. Perhaps I'm just getting a bit jaded.

Maybe also moron of the year, anti-spirit of cricket award etc. All go to the same individual.

I put anti-spirit in. I think Ian suggested it last year.

Ah yes, I must have missed that. I was only skimming last year's winners.
Well, I think we know who will win anti-spirit in a landslide...

For that one I would just put big 3 they all really the same.
India, England and Australia don’t exactly play in the right spirit.
