every youth's role model -RAHUL DRAVID and india's pride-SACHIN were the deserving winners.a person like $RAHUL$ in today's world plus many other indian cricketers deserve much more appreciation!!!
I dont see any point in Tendulkar and Dravid being felicitated by the Cricketer[s] Of The Year.Just take Sachin's performance in the recent past.He has scored a single digit score in 7 of his last 8innings.Take Dravid,he is ofcourse a wonderful player,no doubt ,but what has he done in the series against Aus?it seems so odd to see these players being awarded despite failing miserably! One more thing,y r these batsmen being rated so much[over rated]though they fail so much,take for that instance Kumble,i pity that guy ,inspite of picking up so many wicjkets,y ishe not given teh award?ofcourse i agree he was felicitated by Kapil ,but i bet Kumble must n shud havereceived the Cricketer of tehyear award.Indian cricket will not improve if ppl still under rate aplayer of Kumble's calibre.i bet!
Life time achievement Award for World Cup winning former skipper of Team India is a fine gesture. Shri Kapil Dev Nikhanj is indeed one of the game's all time great allrounder. We salute Kapil who served the game with passion and fire from day one !
the last 2 years tendulkar has been a shadow of what he used to be. not too many good performances too. 15 single digit scores out of last 24 innings and a couple of good performances. i am not sure if he needs to be awarded as the years' best player. he deserves an one off award for a few instances maybe. this is how the castrol awrd has been undermined by themselves.
