Nic Maddinson and Annabel Sutherland have taken out the top Victorian Cricket Awards for the 2019-20 season.
Maddinson, who was last week crowned joint Marsh Sheffield Shield Player of the Year, won the Bill Lawry Medal for his outstanding Sheffield Shield season which saw the 28-year-old make 780 runs at an average of 86.67.
Maddinson also won the player-voted John Scholes Award, voted on by the Victorian male players and given to the player judged to best exhibit Victorian values.
Sutherland won the Sharon Tredrea Award, announcing herself as one of the brightest young prospects in the country. The 18-year-old was a standout contributor to Victoria’s WNCL side before making her Australian T20I debut in February and being part of Australia’s successful ICC World Cup squad in March.
Aaron Finch’s impressive Marsh One-Day Cup campaign saw him named One-Day Player of the Year. The Australian limited overs captain compiled over 400 runs for the tournament including an unbeaten 188* against Queensland and another century against South Australia.
Jake Fraser-McGurk and Tess Flintoff won the Commonwealth Bank Future Star awards. Fraser-McGurk became one of Victoria’s youngest ever first-class debutants when he played against Queensland at the MCG last November, while Flintoff made her WNCL debut in Adelaide in September before captaining Victoria Metro at the Under 18 ³Ô¹ÏÍøÕ¾ Championships.
Marcus Stoinis and Lizelle Lee were named the BBL and WBBL Players of the Season for the Melbourne Stars, while Beau Webster and Jess Duffin were the BBL and WBBL Players of the Season for the Melbourne Renegades.
