Mahela should easily win this!
He deserves to be ICC cricketer of the year but not the captain of the year. He shouldn't have been the captain at all.
Hair for president!!
Yeah, he should not be captain. he hardly did anything other than his politics to kick vass out and get the captaincy. also it was heard that he has people on his pay roll just to keep the bugger going.
these new politics should not be accepted in the name of cricket!!!
