  • Wisden Cricketers Almanack
    01.21 118 3rd proof FIVE CRICKETERS OF THE YEAR The Five Cricketers of the Year represent a tradition that dates back in Wisden to 1889, making this the oldest individual award in cricket. The Five are picked by the editor, and the selection is based, primarily but not exclusively, on the players’ influence on the previous English season. No one can be chosen more than once. A list of past Cricketers of the Year appears on page 1508. sNB. Cross-ref Hashim Amla NEIL MANTHORP Hashim Amla enjoyed one of the most productive tours of England ever seen. In all three formats he was prolific, top-scoring in eight of his 11 international innings. His triple-century in the First Test at The Oval was as career-defining as it was nation-defining: he was the first South African to reach the landmark. It was an epic, and the fact that it laid the platform for a famous series win marked it out for eternal fame. By the time he added another century, in the Third Test at Lord’s, he had edged past even Jacques Kallis as the wicket England craved most. Amla produced yet another hundred in the one-day series, at Southampton, prompting coach Gary Kirsten to purr: “The pitch was extremely awkward, the bowling very good. To make 150 out of 287 rates it very highly, probably in the top three one-day innings for South Africa.” Accolades kept coming his way as the year progressed; by the end, he had scored 1,950 runs in all internationals, at an average of nearly 63.

Security men have arrest- ed more than 50 men and women, most of whom caught red-handed organizing major vote-buying oper- ations in various constituencies, with some of the oper- ations involving former MPs. The main bust was in Jabriya when detectives arrest- ed 36 Kuwaitis operating at a villa to lure voters to pur- chase their votes and seized large amounts of cash. The arrested people were reportedly working for a new can- didate, a well-known businessman. Similar raids were carried out on at least three more places and several people were also caught in the act. Security sources said that some of those arrested have confessed to organizing vote-buying processes. Arrest warrants have been issued against the business- man candidate and a member of the scrapped National Assembly, while reports indicated that police busted another ring buying votes for a former MP who is also a member of the scrapped Assembly in the Fifth Constituency.
