Sachin Honoured In Cricket Awards


MUMBAI: Indian little master Sachin Tendulkar won the best one day international innings award for his double hundred  against South Africa. This was the ever first double century by any batsman in the history of one day internationals. Tendulkar had to fight hard with Abdul Razzaq to win this award as Razzaq’s brilliant match-winning hundred against South Africa was favourite of many board of judges members.


Pakistan’s leading fast bowler Umar Gul has won the best bowler award for the year 2010 in one day internationals on his performance of 6/42 against England at The Oval, England last year.

This is the second successive year Gul has won the award. Last year, he was awarded for his performance in Twenty20 internationals.


Indian’s most stylish and match-winning batsman VVS Laxman got the worthy best test innings of the year award for his brilliant 96 against South Africa in seaming conditions at Durban while Dale Steyn won the best bowling performance in the test matches for his 7/91 against India at Nagpur.


Mike Hussey has won the award of best innings in Twenty20 internationals for his wonderful 60 runs against Pakistan in semi-final of the ICC World Twenty20 where he scored 22 runs from just four balls to close up victory for the Aussies.

Kiwi fast bowler Tim Southee won the award for the best bowling in T20 internationals for his five wickets in just nine balls against Pakistan at Eden Park which also included the hat-trick.


The board of judges panel of Cricinfo for these awards was Kepler Wessles, Ramiz Raja, Tony Greig,  Ian Chappell, Geoff Boycott, Sanjay Manjrekar and Martin Crowe.
