Cummins, who is the first bowler to win the top award since Mitchell Johnson in 2014, came up on top with 156 votes. He was followed by Nathan Lyon on 150 votes and Aaron Finch on 146 votes.
“It’s crazy. Mitchell Johnson, I was there when he won it a few years ago (2014) and I think of the summer he had. All the incredible batsmen who have got it before – it’s a bit weird to be honest,” Cummins said.
Though Gary may have missed out on the AB medal, he was crowned Male Test Player of the Year… for obvious reasons.
Healy, unstoppable, wrapped up the night with three major awards – the ODI Player of the Year Award, the T20I Player of the Year award, and of course the Belinda Clarke Award.
“To win an award with Belinda Clark’s name on it is something every female cricketer dreams of and it’s something I’ll cherish forever,” she said in her speech.
Just imagine her pool room tonight.
Healy, finishing on 125 votes, was followed by Megan Schutt on 81 votes and Ashleigh Gardner on 71 votes.
