On this week's LG ICC Awards 2011 special ICC Cricket World Radio Show,
England's Jonathan Trott talks exclusively about being short-listed in
three categories - ICC Cricketer of the Year, ICC ODI Cricketer of the
Year and the LG People's Choice Award - for this year's event which is
due to be held in London on 12 September."It is not something you think about when you are playing. But what
nomination brings with it some good and fond memories. I think the
nominations shows plenty of England players in all categories. It shows
how we have been a successful as a side over the past year and how
everyone has contributed to it," says Trott.Based on the period between 11 August 2010 and 3 August 2011, the LG ICC
Awards 2011 presented in association with FICA - take into account
performances by players and officials in a remarkable period for the
game.
Also on this week's show, fellow nominee West Indies' Darren Bravo talks
about being short-listed for the ICC Emerging Player of the Year. The
22-year-old batsman is up against compatriot Devendra Bishoo and
Pakistan duo of Azhar Ali and Wahab Riaz for the title.It is a great feeling to be nominated. I was a bit surprised. It has
been my first full year in international cricket and I am being listed
in that sort of category, so it is special to me. I am thanking the lord
for this and hopefully I get the award," says Bravo."I think it will be very tough because all the others have performed
pretty well. It is about their hard work as well and congratulation to
them as well for being nominated. Someone like Devendra Bishoo has put
in a tremendous amount of hard work since he has come in. So may the
best man win,adds Bravo.Finally, Zimbabwe's Test opener Tino Mawoyo looks back on his maiden
hundred against Pakistan in the recently concluded one-off Test."I had previously batted for a day. But to bat for eleven hours is a
quality that has slowly crept into my game. I have been working hard on
it for two-three years. I have taken on the role to let people bat
around me. Obviously Grant Flower (Zimbabwe batting coach) has worked a
lot with me to improve that aspect of my game over the last four-five
months,says Mawoyo.
