Do MoM/ MoS awards given in India, ignore all-round efforts?

[Temujin Khaghan]

its like the pecking order in India is batsmen>bowlers>captains>empires>pitch-sweepers>allrounders the recent series against west indies is a fine example, the top 2 performers are Ashwin = 154 runs and 12 wickets Rohit = 288 runs if we take the rough equivalent of 1 wicket as 25 runs on Indian dustbowls, Ashwin has 18 wickets and Rohit has less than 12 wickets. But still Rohit got the MoS even in the ICF Superselector points system, there is a huge difference Top 25 Players R Ashwin 564 Rohit Sharma 382 I felt bad that Ashwin did not get MoS... but everyone was in the euphoria of sachin's farewell and i did not want to post this topic at that point and spoil the mood.

Look at it this way. A batsman has a just 1 chance out there to bat, while bowlers in test cricket have no limit on the number of overs they get to try and take a wicket. No wonder the game favours more and more towards batsman.

List of MoS and MoMs in Home tests in India since 2007- Dada was the MoS vs Pak in 2007 (MoMs were Kumble, Jaffer, Dada) Bhajji was the MoS vs SA in 2008 (MoMs were Sehwag, ABDV and Dada) Ishant was given the MoS during Border Gavaskar Trophy (MoMs - Zaheer, Dhoni, VVS, Krejza) Zaheer was the MoS vs Eng in 2008 - (MoMs - Sehwag, Gambhir) Sehwag was the MoS vs SL in 2009 - (MoMs - Jaya, Sreesanth, Sehwag) Amla was MoS vs SA in 2010 - won both the MoMs Sachin was the MoS vs Aus in 2010 - (MoMs Zaheer and Sachin) Bhajji was the MoS vs NZ in 2011 (MoMs - Bhajji, Mccullum, Dravid) Ashwin was the MoS vs WI in 2011 (MoMs - Ashwin, VVS, Ashwin) Ashwin was the the MoS vs NZ in 2012 (MoMs- Ashwin, Kohli) Cook was the MoS vs Eng in 2012 (MoMs- Pujara, KP, Cook, Anderson) Ashwin was the MoS vs Aus in 2013 (MoMs- Dhoni, Pujara, Dhawan, Jadeja) Have highlighted the bowlers who have won a MoS or MoM in these home series. Doesn't look like any potential discrimination / bias against bowlers as is being said.

Does anyone actually care of MoM awards or series? I mean it doesn't really matter except it is just a cheque.

getting MoS is a nice record to have... it shows the player's domination
