The annual Australia Cricket Awards were presented at Melbourne’s Crown Casino on Monday night with two main honours being the Allan Border Medal and Belinda Clark Award.
Pat Cummins came from behind to snag the Allan Border Medal, whileಌ Alyssa Healy was never in doubt f♎or the Belinda Clark Award as Australian cricket put a tumultuous year in the rear view mirror.
Cummins did not feature in the other awards but edged out Nat🅘han Lyon to become the first bowler to win the award since Mitchell Johnson in 2014.
Alyssa Healy won everything in her wake, including the T20I and 🎃ODI award as well as being named the ICC T20 Player of the Year.
It’s the first time since 2014 a cricketer apart from David Warner and Steve Smith has won the Allan Border medal. The recognition completed a great year for Cummins, who took 36 wickets from eight Tests in the voting period (January 9, 2018 to January 7, 2019) apart from eight wickets in six ODIs. He also played handy knocks with the bat, scoring two half-centuries in Test cricket.
Meanwhile, in the voting period, Healy scored 329 runs in 6 ODIs at an average of 54.83 and plundered 578 runs in 17 T20Is at a strike-rate of 145.95. She was also instrumental in Australia winning the Women’s World T20.
