ICC gives out stuff

Cricketer of the year - Shivnarine Chanderpaul.

Well done ICC you got this right, you were bound to get something right with all the shit you've thrown at walls in the last year.

Dale Steyn â€" Test player of the year.

Clearly this is for home tests only, next week a player who did something away from home will win the Away tests player of the year award.

MS Dhoni â€" ODI player of the year.

Odds on it was going to be him or Bracken, and the Indian metro sexual got it.

Yuvraj Singh â€" 2020 performance of the year.

What a stupid category.

Ajantha Mendis â€" Emerging player of the year.

Beat the adams apple on shear weight of wickets.

Test team of the year.

Graeme Smith (SA, capt), Virender Sehwag (Ind), Mahela Jayawardena (SL), Shivnarine Chanderpaul (WI), Kevin Pietersen (Eng), Jacques Kallis (SA), Kumar Sangakkara (SL, wk), Brett Lee (Aus), Ryan Sidebottom (Eng), Dale Steyn (SA), Muttiah Muralitharan (SL). 12th man: Stuart Clark (Aus).

One Australian in it, and Sidebottom the stroppy gets in, must be his retirement present.

ODI team of the year.

Hershelle Gibbs (SA), Sachin Tendulkar (Ind), Ricky Ponting (Aus, capt), Younis Khan (Pak), Andrew Symonds (Aus), Mahendra Singh Dhoni (Ind, wk), Farveez Maharoof (SL), Daniel Vettori (NZ), Brett Lee (Aus), Mitchell Johnson (Aus), Nathan Bracken (Aus). 12th man: Salman Butt (Pak)

Mitchell Johnson? Can you believe it?

Simon Taufel â€" umpire of the year.

Do they even vote on this anymore?

Charlotte Edwards â€" Women’s cricketer of the year.

I actually picked this, I think.

Ryan ten Doeschate â€" Associate player of the year.

John Davison misses out again.

Sri Lanka won the spirit of cricket award.
