I was so glad that Andrew Symonds won the one day player of the year prize despite his 6 ducks in the last 7 games. After watching him field v Pakistan on Sunday night I don’t really mind if he never scores another run in his life, he needs to be on the team. Frankly he deserves the medal for just looking so damn good anyway. If only it was Dizzy with him in that last picture, Dizzy was resplendant as well – as usual. They would make the absolute perfect couple. (Enough of those blonde haired cricketers and their blonde haired escorts!)

Justin Langer cut a lone figure and was talking himself up to win the most handsome cricketer award. He was right on the money.

For all the drama and the wonder of the evening, the VS Medal really is the most awkward few hours of television you could ever possibly watch.
