ING Cup Player of the Year
Mark Cosgrove 26
Darren Lehmann 26
David Hussey 25
Phil Jaques 21

Mark Cosgrove, who collected 591 runs including two hundreds and four fifties, took the ING Cup Player of the Year gong on a countback after being tied with Lehmann, his South Australia captain. Both batsmen picked up 26 votes but Cosgrove was deemed the winner because he had more maximum hauls in the 3-2-1 system.

Awesome news!!

[Ian]

A great effort after his start to the year.

[Kevin]

Surely they should both get the medal.

[Adelaide Hawk]

Maybe Boof's criticism of the sponsors was a deciding factor

Well done to Cosgrove, a real talent. I'd still like to see him lose another 5kg, perrhaps the Aussie selectors would as well.

I believe that he gets a $5000 ING account.

A result that I never would have forecasted back in October but credit to Cosgrove for knuckling down and turning things around.
I'm surprised Jaques finished that far back considering he scored 4 tons. Must have been relatively quiet in his other games.

Surely they should both get the medal.

I don't like countback. It rewards players who played big games then little games, rather than rewarding consistency.

[MagicKiwi]

Congratulations Baby Boof.

Until he stops winning the pie eating contest he will never wear the baggy green
