I don't know why? but I did always suspect that Ben Stokes and the Cricket NT were going to sum up a good number of awards...

Always interesting, these awards. I've never heard of Ben Stokes and have absolutely no clue what the cricket team did that's so memorable

To be fair, it would have been a big kick in Vlhova's face to give it to someone who most of the year was riding around as if he was just bored  

[Monzanator 3,601]

I'd say Vlhova is slightly better looking than Sagan as well

really?

 

so, you missed one of last summer's main events in the world of sports...

 

jokes aside, England won their first ever Cricket World Cup (in the main format, they already won one in the shorter version Twenty-20)...and they did it at home in dramatic fashion...

 

Ben Stokes of course was the hero of that magic day (and not only that day, but the whole world cup)...

 

just for a late recovery...

They won England's first ever cricket world cup and Ben Stokes was the player of the match is the finals as well as tournament.

Cricket got a boost the rugby team lost the WC final

 

Polish awards will be announced on January 4th. Stoch & R. Lewandowski are basically locked into Top 3 IMO.
