Jonathan Trott was titled with the Cricketer of the Year 2011


Jonathan Trott, the England batsman, has been named the Cricketer of the Year for 2011, the ICC's top accolade. He received the Sir Garfield Sobers trophy at the annual ceremony in London, after his team-mate Alastair Cook had won the Test Cricketer of the Year award.

"It's fantastic to be part of a successful team and I never envisaged winning this award. It's a brilliant feeling to be recognized," Trott said.

In 12 Tests during the period under consideration, Trott scored 1042 runs at an average of 65.12, including four centuries and three half-centuries. He also played 24 ODIs, scoring 1064 runs at an average of 48.36 with two centuries and nine 50s. Trott was chosen for the award ahead of Cook, last-year's winner Sachin Tendulkar and South Africa batsman Hashim Amla.

"I think the highlight of year was when we won in Sydney to beat Australia, and Chris Tremlett to take that final wicket, it was truly a great year," Cook said after receiving the award from ICC Hall of Fame inductee Curtly Ambrose. "This award is about the rest of the team not just me."

Former Sri Lanka captain Kumar Sangakkara has been named the ODI Cricketer of the Year for 2011 during the ICC Awards ceremony in London. Sangakkara also won the ICC People's Choice Award, capping a memorable evening for him.

"It's a great honor first of all to have been nominated for this award [ODI Cricketer] and a great honor to have actually won it," said Sangakkara, who was not in London because of the ongoing home series against Australia.

"I would like to thank the rest of my team-mates, they have done a great job over the years in one-day cricket and I am privileged to be part of this and [to have] led these guys for just over two years. I thank you again, I feel very proud."

MS Dhoni, the India captain, has won the ICC Spirit of Cricket Award for his decision to recall Ian Bell after his controversial run-out during the Trent Bridge Test. Dhoni was unavailable to collect his award, though the Indian team was present in England.

"While the initial appeal and umpire decision were correct to the letter of the law, the decision by Mahendra and his team to withdraw the appeal shows great maturity," ICC chief executive Haroon Lorgat said. "To see players and officials uphold the great spirit of cricket, which has underpinned the game for more than a century, is very special."

West Indies leg spinner Devendra Bishoo has been named the Emerging Player of the Year for 2011 at the ICC Awards ceremony in London. He had competition from his team-mate Darren Bravo and the Pakistan pair of Wahab Riaz and Azhar Ali.

Bishoo, 25, played five Tests in the voting period - August 11, 2010 to August 3, 2011 - and took 21 wickets at an average of 35.42. He also picked up 19 wickets at 21.57 each in 11 ODIs.

"I could not believe it when I was nominated for the ICC Emerging Player of the Year but to win it feels great," Bishoo said. "I would like to dedicate the award to my father. He played a great role in my life and encouraged me to play cricket. After he died I made a promise to always give my best and reach for the top.

Ryan ten Doeschate, the Netherlands all-rounder, has been named the ICC Associate and Affiliate Player of the Year for the third time in four years, and for the second year running. Ten Doeschate was chosen ahead of Afghanistan all-rounder Hamid Hassan, and the Irish duo of Paul Stirling and Kevin O'Brien, both centurions in the 2011 World Cup, during the awards ceremony in London.

Ten Doeschate, 31, played six ODIs in the voting period - August 11, 2010 to August 3, 2011 - all of them in the World Cup. He scored two centuries and a half-century, and averaged 61.40 for the period with a strike rate of 89.24.

New Zealand seamer Tim Southee has won the award for ICC Twenty20 International Performance of the Year, for his spell of 5 for 18 against Pakistan in Auckland.

"Looking at the nominees, it's a great achievement to have even been nominated and to win it is something I will never forget," Southee, who could not make it to the awards function, said. "Looking back at the game which has won me the award, it was Boxing Day in a full house at Eden Park and it was a big game for us as we'd been going through a rough patch of losing, something like 12 or 13 games on the trot and it was our first win in a long time. It was great to be able to contribute to that win and also put in a great performance."

Pakistan umpire Aleem Dar has won the David Shepherd trophy for the Umpire of the Year for the third consecutive year at the ICC Awards ceremony in London. He beat competition from Steve Davis, Ian Gould and five-time winner Simon Taufel.

Dar, 43, officiated in five Tests and 13 ODIs during the voting period - August 11, 2010 to August 3, 2011 - including the World Cup final between India and Sri Lanka.

Widely regarded for his umpiring standards, Dar was voted to the award by the 10 Full Member captains as well as the eight-man elite panel of match referees.

"It's a great honor and I'm thankful to everyone at the ICC and also my colleagues on the Elite Panel of ICC umpires along with the Pakistan Cricket Board," Dar said. "I'd like to also thank all my family for all their support since I'm away nearly eight months of the year umpiring."

The victory by the United Kingdom running eight folded 15 still shots and shot you are having problems with.

Success in Swan made to England where everyone plays an important role in the deposition of sediment or protect the profits of the series. It is the view of high quality for the attack, although he wore during the smile of aufsbin was selected dragging his gambher principles fifth Gautam slides back, triumph of complete VI, not clear not only to an earlier date in the section. However, frustration, wikeez by klater.

Through the morning save an extra loss, India had reached his wicketless first encounter in the series, will increase the options for the drawing, which would have been a bit of pride. The century was overshadowed by mahendra's have completed their hundredth HUNDRED development, international landmark, forced the entire series. He continued to prove Elusive.

England won 4-0 or greater than the margin of dumping only seven times in the history test.

The average England passes the window and 59.76 loses 47 sets of counters. Average of 25.55 80 and lost and India.

Tim Bresnan, with the first ball of the new spelling, load on the back of Tendulkar, who hit the pad and Rod Tucker held down the toes. Replays showed that he cut his leg stump. It "has no t classic Tendulkar innings in any way, but in fact had at least three high-the belief that life is his birthday.

Temporarily remove the previous night, Tendulkar, and the number of likely to lose the last day in the United Kingdom the two legs of the hypothesis. Short leg was missing his shot, and Alastair Cook Tendulkar 70 85 to release him in the thick edges of Matt is relatively easy in advance. Swann also appeal to the low birth weight with beautiful sweeping losses during the game, there is a drs and United Kingdom reviewed, will be back. Tendulkar when they finally got the chance to be reviewed given the facial expression, but it is important to pay ", recommends the

Tendulkar has not played, stressing flexibility is an association which result in Mishra and English can be a headache. The second test, his 50th leaves 103 balls and use his leg while playing football on the side and hit Swann pay quickly, I can't see where Tendulkar Bat

England /, you can prepare the State of mind, but it showed that hunger after the victory. In the past two days, this party was an incredible value, even if your feet do not hurt players cannot be accepted, so "try t won easily." We must work as if it were yesterday, Rahul Dravid and Tendulkar and Mishra and State in good condition with the victory.

England know how feelings and grow by the General Assembly. Suresh Reina full horror game with two LBW, which uses up to 42 products, even if it is a bad decision Tufail Simon. The Inside Scoop on the edge and the ball, also intended for the keyboard at the top of the stumps.
