ICC Spirit of Cricket

Mahela Jayawardena (SL)
Sri Lanka v New Zealand, first Test, November 2012, Galle, Sri Lanka.

Mahela Jayawardena, batting on 91 with Sri Lanka on 229-7, gloves Jeetan Patel?s delivery and is caught at the wicket by New Zealand wicketkeeper Kruger van Wyk and starts walking before the umpire raised his finger. The nomination has come from a member of the New Zealand squad who felt Mahela?s actions were deserving of recommendation for the award as it happened at a very crucial stage of the match and Mahela, whose side was in some bother, walked without even waiting for an umpire?s decision.

Farhad Reza (Bang)
Pakistan v Bangladesh, ICC World Twenty20 Sri Lanka 2012, Group Stage match, 25 September 2012.

Farhad Reza of Bangladesh, in an attempt to catch Pakistan opener Nasir Jamshed, touches the boundary. Before the on-field umpires refer the catch to the third umpire, the 26-year-old Bangladeshi signals a six, confirming that his foot had touched the boundary. This was done with minimum fuss.




I will update rest news soon

 

[zeustrojanstark]

The David Shepard Trophy for ICC umpire of the year has some dubious names in it. Nigel Llong it seems

 

[Champagnepapi]

Damn it no Kohli at all.

 

[shravi]

Virat Kohli not in the ODI Team of the Year or nominated for ODI Cricketer of the Year. Farcical.

 

[Champagnepapi]

This feels like Ronaldo not winning Ballon d'or seriously no Kohli at all.
