G_B_ Posted September 6, 2012 Posted September 6, 2012 This this is a situation the icc cannot solve. 32 members selected from all the test playing countries mostly plus match ref's and icc umpires etc. If it is anonymous voting then its impossible to pin point who voted for whom.
vvvslaxman Posted September 6, 2012 Posted September 6, 2012 Glad that he wasn't picked.He is an A grade chucker who hasn't been tested in a match situation. Everything was done outside. I gave the benefit of doubt initially. But he has taken chucking to a whole new level these days.
SLICKR392 Posted September 6, 2012 Posted September 6, 2012 yeah but Philander when he hardly has a T20 or ODI record is not the right pick for ICC cricketer of the year? His Test records easily overshadows his LOI performance.
Trundler27 Posted September 6, 2012 Posted September 6, 2012 I don't care about the pcb stance in this situation but tbh, Ajmal deserves to be on that list by virtue of his performance during the qualifying period.... The short list is a joke.... sanga??? clarke (well he did get a triple hundred against a lame indian attack but besides that he has been average during that time)???? The legality of ajmal's action should not be questioned at this point since the icc has allowed him to continue playing... that way even murali's 800 odd wkts should be disregarded.
putrevus Posted September 6, 2012 Posted September 6, 2012 seriously this guy deserves to be in the list, I have no idea what that jury was smoking, They have every right to be furious.
maniac Posted September 6, 2012 Posted September 6, 2012 I could just sense that a ban was around the corner....It's been a while hasn't it?
ganeshran Posted September 6, 2012 Posted September 6, 2012 How many ceremonies did the Lankan board boycott for Murali not getting the award inspite of having 800 wickets at a freakish average? I understand fans being disappointed but the board lodging an official protest and then threatening to boycott is ridiculous.

G_B_ Posted September 6, 2012 Posted September 6, 2012 India have also boycotted this event before right?
Sehwag1830 Posted September 6, 2012 Posted September 6, 2012 Specifically, the 32-person independent voting academy is made up of: Former cricketers – Andy Bichel (Aus), Naimur Rahman (BD), Aamir Sohail (Pak), Pat Symcox (SA), Nasser Hussain (Eng), Russel Arnold (SL), Robin Singh (Ind), Shane Bond (NZ), Grant Flower (Zim), Desmond Haynes (WI), John Davison (Can – Associate Representative Cricketer) Clare Taylor (Eng), Shelley Nitschke (Aus), Kerri Laing (SA), Lesley Murdoch (NZ) and Sudha Shah (Ind).

SLICKR392 Posted September 6, 2012 Posted September 6, 2012 The biggest joke is not them whinging over Ajmal's omission but threatening on boycotting the awards ceremony. :hysterical:
Cricket Tragic Posted September 6, 2012 Posted September 6, 2012 Should have been picked but I'm not sure why the Pakistanis are making such a big deal out of it. Just an award ffs.
