Every award winner from every state after an incredible summer of cricket in Australia
The dust has settled on Australia's longest summer of cricket with all states finalising their annual award winners.
The domestic summer began in early October and ran until mid-April with the latest ever finish to a Sheffield Shield final, with full seasons of the Women's National Cricket League, WBBL and BBL played.
The Marsh One-Day Cup was curtailed because of the logistical impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, while the Shield season was shortened with just eight rounds played.
Queensland won the Shield and WNCL double for the first time, while NSW claimed the Marsh Cup. The Sydney Thunder were crowned champions for WBBL|06 while the Sydney Sixers won their third KFC BBL title.
With the team titles wrapped up, each state has now handed out their individual awards for an unforgettable summer, with some familiar faces claiming the top prizes.
Test players Marnus Labuschagne (Queensland) and Cameron Green (Western Australia) featured prominently as they took out their state's top awards.
Labuschagne's magnificent 192 in Queensland’s emphatic Marsh Sheffield Shield win over NSW, was a dominant force the for Queensland Bulls, bookending another eye-catching Test series for Australia. He finished with 821 runs in Shield cricket including four centuries and an average of 82.10.
Green was a runaway winner of Western Australia's top award, the Laurie Sawle medal, polling 123 votes to finish streets ahead of second-placed Josh Inglis, with 99 votes.
The sheer weight of runs in the Shield saw him catapulted into international cricket, where he looked assured in a debut series, before returning to WA with a maiden first-class double-century and finishing as the competition's top run-scorer.
Travis Head, who has since lost his Cricket Australia national contract, was second on the Shield run-scorer's list and scooped the pool at the Redbacks' awards night, winning the One-Day Cup and Shield MVP title as well as the state's top individual men's honour, the Neil Dansie Medal
In NSW, allrounder Sean Abbott collected a third Steve Waugh Medal while in Tasmania Jackson Bird collected back-to-back Ricky Ponting Medals.
The full list of all award winners from Australian domestic cricket is below, starting with the national awards handed out by Cricket Australia.
