My guesses, presuming they aren't going to go down the ridiculous PC route and choose another woman, would be:
Swann Watson Dilshan Duminy AB Unless any of the above have already been in the 5. Indeed it is the fact that you can only be included once which makes this 'honour' much less than it could or should be. |

would be surprised if there is four non English players, wonder who will be named the leading cricketer of the year.
Mitchell Johnson more deserving than Watson but people will judge him on his supposedly bad ashes. |

Is it voted for te calendar year of 2009?
Must be at least one star from county cricket to get in. Swann a given i suppose. Broad? |

Warner Paine Hauritz Johnson for me |

wisden is primarily meant for english readers and at least 3 awards are generally given to english players.
personally i think its no longer that prestigious an award, i mean bell won it in 07 despite averaging about 16 in englands main home series, and not much more in the preceding series either. my guesses would be strauss swann broad (undeserved imo) trott? dilshan/watson/sehwag/gambhir (really deserves some recognition) |

didnt they revert back to the 5 named having played in the english season, plus an additional world award
strauss has already received the award |
|
By:
so id guess: Clarke, Prior, Swann, Broad, Di Venuto/Van Jaarsveld (they usually pick one from the cc)

Amazed that Virender Sehwag has not been named before.

By:
to do with it being based on performance in England mainly, and Sehwag has only played 4 tests in England
