One of the issues highlighted in that 42 point review document is that the Richie Benaud Spirit of Cricket Award is treated as a bit of a joke/afterthought by the state teams. Bit of a token award no one really cares about.
It's the same in every competition or carnival I've ever seen at every level. Very subjective, what constitutes Spirit of Cricket, how is it measured? Usually it gets given to the most hopeless, winless team as a little pick me up. Or to some team/club that leaves everyone scratching their head because they're the most vulgar, unsportsmanlike, sledging team and it's baffling how they won.
Has anyone seen it done well? How could the status be elevated or the measurements better recognise actual spirit of cricket acts?
