Tamim named Wisden Cricketer Test Player of the Year

[cric_addict]

Tamim Iqbal, Bangladesh's talismanic opener, has been named Test Player of the Year by the Wisden Cricketer magazine. On the day his team-mates recorded Bangladesh's first series win against top-flight opposition - by beating New Zealand - Tamim beat contenders Graeme Swann and Virender Sehwag, who came second and third. During the qualifying period Tamim made 837 runs at 59.78 in seven Tests, despite his team failing to win a single Test during the year. He made 151 against India at Dhaka back in January but the highlight of the year was a pair of hundreds at Lord's and Old Trafford against a potent England attack in May and June. The award is calculated by the marks out of 10 that the Wisden Cricketer's reporters give each player at every Test and is the second successive time a Bangladesh player has won the award after Shakib Al Hasan won last year. Tamim is currently recovering from surgery on his wrist that had ruled him out of the New Zealand series.

Wow, two wisden cricketer awards in a row for bangles! Congrats Tamim, has the potential to be one of the best openers after Viru

Good for him but i am sure there are quiet a few more deserving. Is the award given only once and cannot be repeated? Even then, did Sachin ever win it? How about Amla and Sehwag?

Ridiculus stuff: Sachin and Sehwag has performed better than him but I suppose British people only count performances in and against England
