Super Smith dominates Cricket Australia awards

SYDNEY: Australia's rising batting star and captain Steven Smith dominated the Cricket Australia Awards on Tuesday night. The 25-year-old New South Wales all-rounder became the 10th player to receive Australian cricket's greatest individual honour, the Allan Border Medal, for 2014.

He secured a hat-trick of prizes by also collecting the Test and ODI player of the year awards, becoming only the third man after Ricky Ponting in 2007 and Shane Watson four years later to achieve this feat.

The only other award went to allrounder Glenn Maxwell, who was named T20 player of the year.

Later in the night, former Australian wicketkeeper Adam Gilchrist and late Aussie captain Jack Ryder were also formally inducted into the Australian Cricket Hall of Fame.

Smith, who captained Australia to a 2-0 Test series win over India — in the absence of the injured Michael Clarke — to regain the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, said: "I am surprised to win the three awards. I have had an amazing year. I am joining an illustrious group... and to win these awards is a dream come true," he added.

Smith was the top run-scorer across the three formats of Tests, ODIs and T20Is with 1756 runs at 67.54 during the voting period that started with the ODI against England in Perth on January 24, 2014 and ran through to the fourth Test against India at SCG that ended on January 10 this year.

Paceman Sean Abbott, who was at the heart of the Phil Hughes tragedy, was named Bradman Young Cricketer of the Year.
