AWARDS PlanetCricket Awards 2019 - Results Part 1

[zimrahil]

Welcome to Day One of the PlanetCricket Awards 2019. Today we are announcing the results of the Cricketing Awards

Cricketer of the Year
Very keenly contested category with all the best players in the running.....

1. Ben Stokes 37%
2. Virat Kohli 27%
3. Rohit Sharma 18%

I imagine the World Cup influenced the results and interesting to see Steve Smith's Ashes Tour completely overlooked


Test Player of the Year

1. Steve Smith 80%
2. Virat Kohli 14%
3. Mayank Agarwal 6%

He wasn't overlooked in this category though


ODI Player of the Year

1. Rohit Sharma 43%
2. Ben Stokes 20%
3. Virat Kohli 18%

Rohit Sharma and not Moeen Ali? Seriously?
Kohli winning the bridesmaids award for this year I see


Twenty20 International Performance of the Year

1. Deepak Chahar best-ever bowling figures in a Twenty20 international with 6-7 against Bangladesh 37%
2. Glenn Maxwell 113 not out off 55 balls against India 20%
3. Hazratullah Zazai's 62-ball 162 against Ireland 20%

No arguments that for Chahar, what an outstanding achievement


Emerging Player of the Year

1. Jofra Archer 33%
2. Deepak Chahar 22%
3. Mayank Agarwal 22%

So Archer wins it with a third of all votes, and English to boot


Associate Player of the Year

1. Sandeep Lamichhane 61%
2. Roelof Van de Merwe 22%
3. Assad Vala 6%
   Jan Frylinck 6%
   Nosaina Pokana 6%

Umpire of the Year

1. Marais Erasmus 33%
2. Richard Kettleborough 27%
3. Kumar Dharmsena 24%

Disappointed no Dickie Bird or Steve Bucknor in the top 3. Erasmus must have favoured India a lot this year, right @asprin ?


Women's Cricketer of the Year

1. Ellyse Perry 65%
2. Harmanpreet Kaur 35%

Women's ODI Cricketer of the Year

1. Ellyse Perry 41%
2. Meg Lanning 29%
3. Mithali Raj 22%

Haven't watched any women's cricket this year but Mithali Raj for me



Women's T20I Cricketer of the Year

1. Ellyse Perry 31%
2. Harmanpreet Kaur 22%
   Smriti Mandhana 22%

Women's Emerging Cricketer of the Year

1. Jemmimah Rodrigues 55%
2. Kirstie Gordon 45%

Spirit of Cricket

1. Kane Williamson graceful defeat in the Cricket World Cup 19 Final 67%
2. Virat Kohli’s support of Steve Smith in the CWC 18%
3. Sri-Lankan fans giving Kane Williamson a birthday cake 16%

Quite right Williamson won this category and notice Kohli is bridesmaid yet again



Worst Cricket Moment

1. 2019 CWC Final NZ vs Eng ending on boundary count back 43%
2. MS Dhoni run-out and India out of CWC 2019 24%
3. Shakib Al Hasan's 2-year suspension 18%

Winner was actually best cricketing moment and true winner of this award was for Moeen Ali getting dropped
