[Mr. Wicket]

1. Best Cricket Poster shwetabh, Ravi and Dhondy take this for me. Three posters whose posts always reflect an incredible level of knowledge, passion and perspective on the game, and quite often with a fine sense of humour. 2. Best General Discussions Poster No comments, as I very rarely read that forum. 3. Best Statistician The Boss award? 4. Best Cameraman Cricketics, Rajeev 5. Best Humorous Poster Dhondy takes this for me, followed by gambit and bumper. 6. Best Writer Dhondy again, although I wish he would write more. Ravi in a close second for his insightful (but sadly infrequent) pieces. 7. Best Behaved Poster kablooee, without a doubt. Takes all the bashing that can be expected for any Pakistani poster on this board with great dignity and always keeps his head. The ever sensible varun and Chandan follow on the list for me. 8. MVP Eh, despite the ruling that some people will not be considered, I'd still nominate varun for this. Constantly calm/level headed at all times, adds a great deal to the discussions on the board, has done a ton of stuff behind the scenes in maintaining the forums/moderating/etc, and on top of that has put together the fantastic Super Selector and a few other pretty neat designs on the board. Definitely an MVP.

[Guest dada_rocks]

Sorry in advance if I step on some toes.. (1) It has to be Dhondy-aided-by-BB.. because I value substance+presentation, so this award will have to be shared. (2) That will be me; yes I am narcissist:haha:. (3) This one is easy BB (4) Rajeev, Do I need to mention why (5) whoever did that Mastercard style advertisement spiel for pakistan-cricket and PCB (6) I have no clue about this one so will go with answer of question (1) (7) Who is best behaved; this one should be Chandan who should be named Chandini... Again I have not been on case of everyone I hardly read 90+% of threads so it's hard to judge.

Best Narendra Modi campaigner: Hands down, DR

[fineleg]

PK, to be decided - i am still thinking abt it.

[sandtest]

I will attempt a few -- Best Cameraman -- One and only Shri Rajeev.....in fact I came across the forum googling for an old Ind-Pak video. Best statistician -- Shri Shri Bheembhai -- No one stands closer here! ( I wonder how he finds so mcuh time and keeps stats updated) Best Cricket Poster -- Shri Dhondy+Shri Shwetabh+Shri Bheembhai (combined). Best General Discussion -- Who else other than Dada_Rocks!! -- fearless, to the point and without any dhimmitude, PCness --:hatsoff:. Best Writer -- LURKER guru.....fantastic style of writing -- still remember that article after India's early exit from world-cup -- how well he captured Indian fans sentiments-- articulate and purity! Best Humorous Poster -- Gambit -- that one creation of Cricinfo page is itself worth 10's of such awards. Best Behaved Poster -- Varun -- has tolerated us many times :D -------------------------- Mods please include one more category -- Best Tharki :hysterical: GKD will win finally, but me and Lurker guru can give him some competition.:cantstop:

[Ram]

I have some other awards to name, other than the usual ones. But first, the usual suspects 1. Best Cricket Poster Predator_05, Salil, Shwetabh, Ravi and Doc not necessarily in that order. Every post by Pred is worth its weight in gold and a informative read. Salil is legendary for his penchant for the history of his game and other aspects of cricket that generally misses most posters. 2. Best General Discussions Poster Lurker, CC ( Bongosamaj), DR in that order. 3. Best Statistician No competition. Boss, followed by Doc and Apo, who himself comes up with some interesting numbers now and then. Special mention to Dial_100, who has a fond relationship with numbers. 4. Best Cameraman Again, no competition here. Rajeev and Tics. Special mention of Prudent, who comes with superb photos during match days and Online, who provided us with some rare videos of India-Victoria match 5. Best Humorous Poster Gambit, Bumper, Hari and Tics. 6. Best Writer For cricket, there is no beating the Doc. Salil, Shwetabh and Ravi are quite close behind 7. Best Behaved Poster Has to be Chandan and the two Pakistanis, MP and Kabloee Most valuable poster. Incredibly tough one this, but i nominate Predator for this. He is my only nomination. Apart from his hard-hitting posts, few people here understand the kind of ideas he brings to the board and his sheer enthusiasm for making this a better place. Special mention of Gambit, Tics and Rajeev. Now, to my personal awards, ICF life-line awards. These posters are the life-line of ICF. Without them, the place will lose its life. Cricket or no cricket, you can always find these guys here, posting away, sharing their thoughts and ideas on various ideas. Nominations include Bossbhai, DR, Fineleg, Apo, Blue_Billion, Holysmoke, Zubinpepsi and Mouni The news-finder award. He is probably the least celebrated ICF poster, but his contribution is no less important. Desichap's a legend for his ability to find news about our cricketers. Whether getting injury updates on our players, or news about Team selection, you can trust DC to get the news before most. The Indian cricket Fan award. This award is to honor those who stick with the team through the thick and thin, always having only good words for our team. Nominations include Chandan, Dsr,Ravi,Varun ICF cheerleader award. Trust the nominees to lighten up the mood with some chirpy posts. They have a way with words and similies. Nominations include Beetle and Chunky_Lafanga. ICF lifetime members award. These are posters who arent as conspicuous as other prolific posters, but you can trust them to make their presence felt every now then. They are ICF members for life. Nominations include Gator, Yoda, Anakin, Veer, Sandeep, Aditi, Coffe_rules.
