LG ICC Awards 2008 As part of the ICC's celebration of the game's heroes and role models, the ICC holds an Annual Awards ceremony to celebrate the major individual and team achievements from the past twelve months of world cricket. The LG ICC Awards 2008 features nine prestigious awards recognising some of the biggest names in world cricket. The LG ICC Awards ceremony is now in its fifth year and takes place in Dubai on 10 September. Previous ceremonies were held in London (2004), Sydney (2005), Mumbai (2006) and Johannesburg (2007). The event was due to be staged in Lahore ahead of the ICC Champions Trophy but with that tournament being postponed, it will now go ahead in Dubai, where the ICC has its headquarters. This year’s LG ICC Awards includes eight individual prizes, including a new one for the Twenty20 International Performance of the Year. The winners of seven of these individual awards will be voted upon by a 25-person panel from around the world, made up of renowned former players, respected members of the media, and an elite umpire and elite match referee. Meanwhile, the nominations for the Women’s Cricketer of the Year Award were decided after each of the world’s top 10 teams was given the opportunity to nominate two players. This award will be voted on by a separate 16-person voting academy featuring former players and other experts on the women’s game. Based on the 12 months between 9 August 2007 and 12 August 2008, the LG ICC Awards 2008 - presented in association with FICA - will take into account performances by players and officials in a remarkable period for the game. That period includes the inaugural ICC World Twenty20 2007 in South Africa.

This is the most boring/mundane awards ceremony I have ever seen in my life. Whoever chose Nasser Hussein to be the show host needs to re-check his brain. Niether is Nasser known to be witty, nor is his vocabulary flowery enough to enthuse the audience. And what was Alan Wilkins doing, asking silly and stupid questions?
