Hard to see J. Clayton not meeting that same criteria

Clayton won last year. Why would this year be any different? Did he abuse umpires more? He played a lot with injuries so wasn't as effective this year and missed some games. Also, Port didn't win as many games.

Definitely those reasons that you have listed are valid mate, I was however replying to your initial post on Cica ... Surely Clayton plays in the same eyecatching manner (some migjt argue more so) as Cica, and being the winner the previous year is surely as well known??

But what I'm saying is Clayton was not as good this year and didn't deserve to be up there.
