Against minnows West Indies and Pakistan.
Most Test sides are minnows outside of England, Australia and India tbf. He also did it after getting dropped for the defeat to West Indies in the first Test of the Summer
Fair enough. It's been a strange year, as has been mentioned. Broad, as well as he's performed, wouldn't get anywhere near it in a normal year.

No course he wouldn't. Surprised they didn't pick the cpatain of England's Rugby Union team for winning the 6 Nations or even Peter Wright for winning the PDC World Championship

John Higgins should have won it in 2011.

Peter Wright is a really good call actually.

O'Sullivan deserved to be nominated at some point. He's different class, and the nature of the win over Selby was jaw-dropping. But I think 2013 should have been the year he got a nod. That was insane.
I expect Hamilton to breeze it.
Honestly the sportsperson who deserves it more than any other this year is Marcus Rashford by a long way.

Nah.
Rashford is class, but it's not the Nobel Prize.

John Higgins' redemption from all that he had to endure and overcome in 2010 was the most compelling sporting storyline of the year IMO. Nothing else came close.

I think he’s proven to have the Personality that most should want to emulate.
But this award hasn’t been about personality in a long time.

Don't give them an idea. When they type 'Come on Mo' they leave out the comma by design.

buck me, that was sports broadcasting at its worst that year.
Let's ignore the ban he got in favour of the ban he didn't (couldn't) get.

about time but he wouldn't have won it in 2013 with Murray winning Wimbledon that was an insane moment for the UK with a british winner in something like 70 years but that was the year he should've been nominated for at least

Seems a token gesture after a lean period for sport. Hamilton will probably win it.
I never took to the SPOTY that seriously.

Hamilton deserves it. It was very brave of him to stand up to Barry Hearn earlier in the year.

School Of Rock and Book Of Mormon are both quality musicals. As is Wicked.

The best musical I've seen has to be Trey Parker and Matt Stone's movie: "Cannibal! The Musical" Based on a true story.

Not seen that one.
The Toxic Avenger musical was brilliant though.
Even included one person singing a duet, in one of the best things I've ever seen on stage.

He won't win, but if ended up 2nd that would be incredible. The year Hendry was nominated he also finished 2nd.

There's a groundswell of love for Ronnie O'Sullivan. He'll win.

I'm sure I know a lot of people who don't have a clue who Lewis Hamilton is. But almost everyone I know has heard about Ronnie O'Sullivan. And I'm in Belgium, where most people know buck all about snooker.
