Twice this summer Trav has been screwed over

Warner ODI…

Warner 552 runs @ 42.46, 13 innings
Head 550 runs @ 68.75, 9 innings
Smith 539 runs @ 67.37, 11 innings
Zampa 30 wkts @ 17.53, 12 matches

Without seeing the votes per game I can’t judge, Trav either goes big or fails.

Alot of people commenting online that Head has been robbed and extremely unlucky not to win the ODI player of the year.

Played 4 games less, it’s not the batting trophy, it’s 3-2-1 votes.

I’d like to judge each game for my own take on it

Given its a 3-2-1 system and Warner played a lot more games i can accept him winning that award albeit Trav was probably more outstanding.

The surprising stat for me is Australia played 13 ODI’s in the past 12 months.

Men's ODI Player of the Year: David Warner

It took a countback to separate David Warner and Steve Smith, who were locked on 25 votes for this tightly-contested award, with that pair one vote ahead of Travis Head.

The award was the first major prize handed out at the 2023 Australian Cricket Awards after votes from players, umpires and media across the 17 matches Australia played in the voting period.

Smith scored 539 at 67.37 in 11 games while a "very surprised" Warner posted 552 runs across 13 games at an average of 42.46. Warner won the tiebreaker because he had polled the maximum three votes in more games – three times to Smith's one.

Warner polled maximum votes for his 99 in the fourth game against Sri Lanka in Colombo, his 94 in the third game against Zimbabwe in Townsville, and his 86 in the first ODI against England in Adelaide.

Smith polled votes in all but three of Australia home one-dayers played against Zimbabwe, New Zealand and England between August and November, and picked up the maximum three votes for his century against the Kiwis in Cairns in September.

Head blitzed his way to 24 votes – including a trio of three-vote performances – to finish third following his return to the team after the retirement from the format of Aaron Finch. Head scored 550 runs in just nine matches after coming into the side, at an average of 68.75 and an impressive strike-rate of 112.24, with two centuries.

Count back should have been done on the players average

Davey would've still been scratching his head trying to work that out.

What if a bowler and batter tied on votes.

Whoever played fewer games means they got more votes per game, making them more worthwhile imo.

Playing more games with a better average means more consistent over a longer period of time.

But if they had played more games with the same or better average votes per game, then they would have finished with more votes and not require a count back to begin with.

When you are tied on votes, the person who has played fewer games has recieved more votes per game.

NSW Premier Dominic Perrottet has punched down on a bid by South Australia to pinch the New Year’s Test from Sydney, claiming that even a washed-out SCG was preferable to spending five days in Adelaide.

As revealed by the Herald and The Age, SA Premier Peter Malinauskas and the South Australian Cricket Association (SACA) have approached CA about trying to move the New Year’s Test from the SCG to the Adelaide Oval.

SACA is frustrated that Adelaide is set to host another Test against the West Indies next summer.

Speaking in Canberra, Perrottet gave a succinct reaction to the attempt to move the New Year’s Test to Adelaide Oval.

“A five-day washed out Test in Sydney is much better than a five-day Test in Adelaide,” he said. “Because at the end of it, you’ve spent five days in Adelaide.”

Michael Clarke, a born and bred New South Welshman, has also criticised the idea of taking the January Test away from Sydney.
“Not happening,” Clarke said on his Big Sports Breakfast radio program. “Can’t take Boxing Day from the MCG and you can’t take New Year’s away from the SCG, [an] absolute no-brainer. The day that stops is the day Test cricket is finished in this country.

Perrottet and Clarke, two classy individuals

I don't think either comment does them any favours.

and yet it was alright for us to lose the Aus Day test....

I don't think a Test switch will happen, but I like the Premier not wanting to cop the Windies again next year.
