My Predictions:

1. Cricketer of the Year: RAYMOND WILLIAM PRICE

Reason > For the last one and a half year since his comeback, Price has taken 27 wickets in 21 ODIs at 24.03, econ 3.39.
Details with statistics: (http://stats.cricinfo.com/ci/engine/pla ... ew=innings)

Why not Utseya let me explain:

For the last one and a half year Utseya has taken 13 wickets in 19 matches at 40.23, econ 3.64.
Details with statistics: (http://stats.cricinfo.com/ci/engine/pla ... ew=innings)

I didn't think about the domestic performance just the International cricket. I reckon for clinching the top award, it's better to judge them by ODI's performance.

2. Batsman of the Year: HAMILTON MASAKADZA

Reason > Most consistent performer with the bat. For the last one and a half year, scored 632 runs in 22 ODIs at 30.09, best 87 with 6X50.
Details with statistics: (http://stats.cricinfo.com/ci/engine/pla ... ew=innings)

3. Bowler of the Year: RAYMOND WILLIAM PRICE

For the same reason. Just beat Tawanda Mupariwa because off late Mupariwa lost his form a bit including the domestic competition.

4. Rookie of the Year: FORSTER MUTIZWA

5. Best School's Cricketer: ? ? ?

6. Coach of the Year: STEPHEN MANGONGO
