It's a super six for Hashim Alma
Hashim Amla has set a record by being nominated in six different categories for the 2010 SA Cricket Awards Gala Dinner in association with Standard Bank, Castle and MTN to be held next Tuesday, July 20 at a glittering banquet at the Sandton Convention Centre in Johannesburg.
This memorable evening is one of the highlights on the South African cricketing calendar and highlights outstanding performances across the board of professional cricket in both the international and domestic arenas.
The SA Cricket Awards Gala Dinner is the culmination of CSA Day, a day set aside annually by CSA, to celebrate the achievements of the South African cricket family, both on and off the field during the past season.
Amla’s achievement is not surprising considering the outstanding season he has had in test cricket and the manner in which he has established himself as one of South Africa’s leading ODI players as well.
He has been nominated in the following categories: SA Cricketer of the Year, SA Players’ Player of the Year, CSA Fans’ Cricketer of the Year, KFC “SO GOOD!” Award, CSA Test Cricketer of the Year and Standard Bank One-Day International Cricketer of the Year.
Jacques Kallis has been nominated in four categories (SA Cricketer of the Year, CSA test Cricketer of the Year, Standard Bank One-Day International Cricketer of the Year and Standard Bank International Pro20 Cricketer of the Year) and AB de Villiers in three categories (SA Cricketer of the Year, Standard Bank One-Day International Cricketer of the Year and Standard Bank International Pro20 Cricketer of the Year).
Dale Steyn has received two nominations (SA Cricketer of the Year and CSA Test Cricketer of the Year).
One of the highlights of the domestic season is that it gives cricketers uncapped at international level the chance to compete for awards against Proteas.
In the domestic category, for instance, Herschelle Gibbs is a finalist for the MTN40 Cricketer of the Year along with Rusty Theron and Colin Ingram.
Ingram has also been nominated for the domestic Standard Bank Pro20 Cricketer of the Year as well as the Domestic Players’ Player of the Year and the SA Cricketers’ Association Most Valuable Player award.
In a first for the Awards, CSA is giving two lucky fans the opportunity to hand over the CSA Fans Cricketer of Year Award, a prize that will include a VIP Experience for the night along with three of their friends. The fans were randomly selected after they voted for their favourite cricketer on the CSA website (www.cricket.co.za), in a month long poll that saw thousands of fans participate.
CSA Day starts with the SA Cricket Awards breakfast, in association with KFC, which is held to celebrate the stars of tomorrow, followed by the CSA Golf Invitational, which gives key stakeholders an opportunity to have a round of golf with the Proteas.
