MUST WATCH: JFM obliterates IPL bowling attack - even Bumrah! - for 15-ball 50... and keeps going
A six-laden, 27-ball 84 from Jake Fraser-McGurk to continue his outrageous debut IPL!
On Monday, cricket’s night of nights will take place. The most prestigious individual prize in Australian cricket, the Allan Border Medal, will be awarded to Australia’s most outstanding cricketer from the past year. This is The Roar’s ultimate guide to watching 2018’s Allan Border Medal ceremony.
Taking place from Melbourne’s Crown Casino, the Allan Border medal ceremony will see the presentation of nine awards, headlined by the Allan Border medal. New members of the Australian cricket Hall of Fame will also be inducted on Monday night.
Australian skipper Steve Smith looks set to take home the night’s top gong, after an amazing year of Test cricket. Should Smith win, he will join an elite group of Australian cricketers who have won multiple Allan Border medals. To date, only four players have achieved this. Shane Watson and David Warner have won two apiece, while Michael Clarke and Rocky Ponting have won four apiece.
Smith won his sole Allan Border medal in 2015.
