Most Overrated Player
I misspelt this category as "Overderrated" - so maybe we would have had a different result had it been 'Overrated' but whatever you call it, it's a tied result with Umar Akmal and MS Dhoni both sharing the honours.
Umar Akmal - 23%
MS Dhoni - 23%
Mohammad Amir - 20%

With no other way of determining which was the champion ODI side - and perhaps awarding them a trophy for it, PlanetCricket was left with the job of deciding the best ODI side - with India winning it comfortably.
India - 60%
Pakistan - 19%
England - 15%

Pakistan finish second again in our final category of the day, with the addition of Afghanistan and Ireland to the ranks of test playing men's teams taking out the best cricket moment of the year!
