Short answer, NO.
Phantom count has Brown on 34, Kelvin on 28, and Winter (ineligible for getting reprimand during season) on 22.
Group of players around 20, mainly allrounders like Pengelly and Kerber.
Brown will have 24 votes after 4 rounds, so nearly impossible to be caught after that!
Funnily enough 20/20 comp runs and wickets don't count for Bradman Medal, however if you receive a sanction in that competition then you are ineligible for the Bradman
No surprise with Brown winning easily from Kelvin, Kerber well deserved 3rd place.
Lucky did not come down to last round, how Jake Brown got 2 votes for his scratchy 18 off 60 balls and two wickets just summed up some of the umpires votes!
Jake Winter was not impressed with not even getting mentioned as joint winner of 20/20 Medal, name came up on screen that he tied but ineligible, but that was it. Considering all the voting was in minor round and his report was during semi final, you could argue he still deserved the award.
Seems he left the function straight after, refused to go up for Team of Year, was that pi55ed off, rightly so. Tim Nielsen was not impressed, would expect he will be called into the office today for a please explain.
Maybe he does not care, rumours are he has been approached by Tasmania and will be off there next season, so probably does not care if Redbacks were not impressed with him last night!
when receiving the award.
