I'm just wondering if they'll do a sympathy/recognition bit and name Tom Maynard? Just a thought

2012? You can only win the award once and I think he already has. Anyway he didn't play in England last summer did he?

thanks for spotting I don't know which year we are in doh!

He wont be a cricketer of the year, but there will be a piece on him, for sure.

I thought it would be interesting to see who we thought might get the nod for the next 5 wisden cricketers of the year.
We should remember that if someone has already won the award you can't have it twice! There is also usually a random county player picked!

My thoughts are
Dale Stein
Hashim Amla
Virat Kholi (one day performances have been astounding)
Saeed Ajmal
Nick Compton (County performances and Eng call up)

what do you think?

I didn't do too badly with my guesses (three out of 5 is 60%!!)

Here are the winners:
Amla, Comption, Kallis, Samules Steyn

Michael Clarke it cricketer of the year

Was surprised seeing Marlon Samuels there, Virat Kohli would have been more deserving IMHO.

Rest I agree with.

But he didn't do anything in England. He had little effect in the UK during the English county season, on which it is based. Samuels is more than understandable.

Completely agree!
