  • 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.

With several applications in the hospitality, restaurant, and healthcare markets, new types of service robots are making life easier for customers and employees. For example, mobile robots can now make deliveries in a hotel, move materials in a hospital, provide security patrols on large campuses, take inventories or interact with retail customers. They offer expanded capabilities that can largely remove humans from having to perform repetitive, tedious, and often unwanted tasks. Companies designing and manufacturing such robots are offering unique approaches to customer service, providing systems to help fill in areas where labor shortages are prevalent, and creating increased revenues by offering new delivery channels, literally and figuratively. However, businesses looking to use these new robots need to be mindful of reviewing the underlying demand to ensure that such investments make sense in the long run. In this report, we will review the different types of robots aimed at providing hospitality services, their various missions, and expectations for growth in the near-to-immediate future.
