2012 Allan Border Medal

[Doodlesweaver]

Warner was always going to win

He is playing all three formats. At this rate he won't have to do a great deal to be well in the running for the AB in future.

 

[Ron]

Watto ODI player of the year as well, right now he must be a chance for the AB medal, unless Clarke outpolls him by quite a bit in the test votes.

 

[roostersgal4eva]

I love Watto to bits but D Hussey was stiff

 

[aussierulesrules]

Agree, pretty stiff, I reckon.

 

[steviej]

Surely you have to be younger than 25 to win the young player oty. Warner wins the award.

Rules are that you must be 24 years of age or younger at the start of the voting period. Haven't looked it up but Warner was 25 in about October?

thats what I mean

And played less than 10 first class games at the start of the voting period.

So that means that some young players in the state comps or who get a gig in the Aussie squads are never going to be in the running to win it.

What a daft rule for an award.

 

[aussierulesrules]

Very well said, SK Warne. He's definitely grown up!

 

[roostersgal4eva]

very good speach - me liked it

 

[Majinbuu]

LOL hussey spanking

 

[Ducky Tie]

Intersesting that Wade came third in domestic player.

 

[Tassieboy]

Marsh looks like a midget next to Julian.

 

[Ron]

Pup gets the test player of the year

A little surprised Patto was one of the nominations after playing only 4 tests, but he did have a good 4 tests.

 

[roostersgal4eva]

Should of been Siddle instead of Patterson but they got the winner right

 

[The Passenger]

clarke looked like he lost his best friend when they did the nominations.

massive effort from pattinson to get in the top four from only 4 tests. we played 11 in the voting period yeah?? 3 in SL, 2 in SA, 2 v NZ, 4 v India....

 

[Bucking Beads]

Watson was so dominant in the shorter forms. Easy to see why we got him back in the side so quickly. He is an integral part of our side.

Not a fan if Warner getting the bradman award. He is too old anyway. Pattinson the clear winner of that award

 

[roostersgal4eva]

So we find out whats more important

Test Cricket - Clarke
20/20 & ODI's - Watto

 

[Bucking Beads]

Definitely the right winner of the AB medal IMO.

 

[Ron]

Well done pup on winning the AB medal.

The last 12 months he has really stood up and deserves this one.

 

[Tassieboy]

Lol at Ponting's facial expression.

 

[roostersgal4eva]

Correct winner IMHO

 

[The Passenger]

Not a fan if Warner getting the bradman award. He is too old anyway. Pattinson the clear winner of that award

copeland was 25, hastings was 24, pomersbach 23, hilfenhaus 24 and brett lee 23 when they won it.

it's not as if they made a sudden change to the eligibility criteria to give another award to warner.

i do agree 25 is probably a bit old for it though, but you tend to mature later in cricket than something like footy.

pattinson would have been pretty close to warner though.

cummins would be about $1.20 raging favourite for next years already.

 

[Tulip]

Probably, Pattinson is pretty nailed on though if he can stay fit
