They just gave Dave Warner the Allan Border Medal for best Australian cricketer of the last year.
Seriously.

Re: cricket thread
It takes all forms into Account and Marnus mainly played Tests so didn't even make the Top 3.
Smith and Cummins both would have been worthy winners.

Re: cricket thread
Seriously, Tests are weighted higher than ODI/T20s, but the 5 Tests at Home count the same as The Ashes. Warner made a lot of runs in those.
Marnus did win Test Player of the year though.

Re: cricket thread
The AB Medal has a history of some crazy results.
In 2001 Colin Miller won Test Player of the year by only polling in 2 matches. There were not many Tests that year and a few players were tied on 6 votes, and he won the countback by having the most 3 votes.

Re: cricket thread
Aha
Interesting lists.
5 batsman 5 bowlers and a wicketkeeper used to be the norm but almost unheard of now.
Will think about mine.

Re: cricket thread
I always thought Australia should use Gilchrist at 6 more when he was in his prime, but they didn't do it often.
With a Top 6 like the World team you would hardly need much from the rest.
