The 2011 Allan Border Medal will air Live from Crown Casino on Monday February 7th on FOX Sports1.

Can Shane Watson make it back to back wins?

Full coverage of the event will begin at 8.30pm AEDT on FOX Sports 1HD and FOX Sports1, and will bring together Australia’s cricket legends both past and present to crown the nation’s best cricketer over the past year.

This cricketing night of nights will be hosted by FOX Sports’ Brendon Julian alongside Mark Nicholas, who will be joined by past Australian greats including Ian Healy, Richard Benaud and Matthew Hayden for the award presentations.

FOX Sports commentator Damien Fleming will provide a look at the lighter side of cricket, while FOX Sports News reporter Sarah Jones will join Michael Slater to cover all the glitz and glamour of the red carpet arrivals.

The 90-minute presentation will cover all the big awards, including One Day International Player of the Year, T20 Player of the Year, Test Player of the Year and the 2011 Allan Border Medal, as well as the announcement of the latest inductees into the Australian Cricket Hall of Fame.

FOX Sports’ General Manager Rod Law said, “The Allan Border Medal is an entertaining and fun night where the cricket community can come together and celebrate Australia’s top players.”

It will also air delayed on Nine from 10:30pm.

  3. Not everyone has pay TV. Channel 9, you disappoint me by putting this on Fox. We watch the cricket every year, and then, when you have a night that equals what the Brownlow is in the AFL, you do this. Is this going to happen to the Borwnlow also? As we have to start our new day early, we have to retire to bed, and thus miss out on watching our favourite cricketers be recognised. Frankly, Channel 9, this stinks. Guess I will have to wait to read the results in the papers tomorrow.

  4. Fancy it being broadcast on Fox……how lame. Free to air probably wouldn’t show it because it wouldn’t rate well. Unlike the Brownlow which involves 100s of players, this involves only 20 0r so. And it is obvious who will win! The WAGS are probably the real stars…….sorry, that was cynical!

  5. I wonder if this year they’ll add the 20 over garbage to the medal count? Replay is on 9 at 10:30 for those without Fox. FWIW I had Watson winning the medal by about 15 votes on my count.
