I saw the vCash prize coming, but it was a surprise to see the banner thing. Thank you very much for that.

Congratulations to all the winners.

It was a great feeling to win two awards and missed by a bit on two. Nonetheless it has been a very productive year for me.

 

[RUDI]

joint funniest and 2nd best poster overall... methinks PC has a very low bar...

 

[ShamiLoverGlipGlops]

Best Test Bowler Ashwin and Starc , I can definitely understand Starc but Ashwin?

 

[blockerdave]

I guess joint winners don't count as winners since I didn't get jack.

Two prepositions missing.. .

 

[Satan666]

Could it be arranged for the winners to have a custom user title at their disposal such as ‘Post of the Year winner 2017’.

Would be great if we can get some feedback from the winners or staff members as I know Matt is a bit busy with his commitments at work.
