Roshanrocks Posted September 20, 2010 Posted September 20, 2010 Sachin Tendulkar leads the nominations for the seventh ICC awards as the only cricketer to have been short-listed in all the three major categories. India opener Virender Sehwag, South Africa's middle-order batsman Hashim Amla and England offspinner Graeme Swann are the other names in the marquee Cricketer of the Year shortlist. Amla and Sehwag were also nominated for the Test cricketer of the Year award, along with South Africa seamer Dale Steyn. Two Australians - seamer Ryan Harris and allrounder Shane Watson - and South Africa's middle-order batsman AB de Villiers completed the shortlist for the ODI award, along with Tendulkar. Tendulkar was in prolific form during the assessment period - August 24 2009 to August 10 2010 - scoring 1064 runs in 10 Tests, and 914 runs in 17 ODIs, including the first double-century in the history of the format. Sehwag's inclusion in the Test category came as no surprise after a year during which he topped the run-charts, apart from scoring his runs at an exceptional strike-rate of 97.34. Ricky Ponting, the Australia captain who was the top ODI run-scorer during the assessment period, was dropped from both the Player of the Year and ODI longlists. de Villiers, who topped the ODI averages among players who scored above 700 runs, had four centuries in the 12-month period - second only to Sri Lanka's Tillakaratne Dilshan, who scored five. Swann was a late inclusion to the initial longlist after the ICC overlooked him when they first released the list of contenders for the awards. Sri Lanka's Mahela Jayawardene won two Twenty20 nominations for his knocks against Zimbabwe and West Indies in the World Twenty20, while Brendon McCullum and Michael Hussey were also shortlisted for batting performances. South Africa seamer Ryan McLaren was the only bowler to figure in the list of five. This year's awards ceremony, which will be hosted in Bangalore on October 6, comprise nine individual prizes and three team awards. For the first time, a "people's choice award" that will be decided by online fan votes has been included. The shortlists were nominated by an independent 25-person academy comprising a host of former players, members of the media, and representatives of the elite panel of umpires and match referees.

Debutant Posted September 20, 2010 Posted September 20, 2010 Last couple of years have been awesome for Tendulkar.Actually all his career have been fabulous baring those 05 and 06 i guess and I am sure that was because of injuries.

This category was a last minute inclusion. Match Fixer of the Year Salman Butt, Mohammed Asif, Mohammed Amir, Kamran Akmal. PS: Much to the chagrin of the rest of the countries, the players from one nation dominated this category. :hatsoff:
