^ I very very strongly disagree with the Test Cricketer of the Year Award. It just has to be Kane Williamson. The lad has a Bradmanesque average of 90.15 in tests played in 2015 after 8 tests. Smith has scored more runs, but he has played 5 more tests than Williamson. Give Williamson 5 more tests this year and no batsman would be anywhere near him.

Williamson is by far, head and above better than any batsman playing today. To not give him the Test Cricketer of the year award is just stupid on so many levels that its not funny.

Also how is Kane Williamson not the Cricket of the year?

To go with his Bradmanesque Test Form, he is also the highest run scorer in ODIs in 2015. He has excelled in both forms of the game. To be overlooked for both awards is just ICC nonsense of the highest order.

Worth noting these awards are for the September to September period.

The awards are always a load of bollocks, looks like it's the same in 2015 lol[DOUBLEPOST=1451130933][/DOUBLEPOST]Why don't we have awards here on the forum? One of the mods could post a list of nominees and we could vote.

Its a good idea actually ... we could even have some unique categories.

we usually do that, lets wait until the boxing day tests are over and do that.
