David Waner(Australia)on Monday Jan 23,2017 became just the fourth player to win back-to-back Allan Border Medals, Australian cricket’s greatest individual honour.
Only Ricky Ponting (2006, 2007), Shane Watson (2010, 2011) and Michael Clarke (2012, 2013) have previously won consecutive medals in Australian cricket’s prestigious annual awards.
The 30-year-old Warner recorded 269 votes over 248 for Steven Smith and 197 for fast bowler Mitchell Starc.
Fellow players, the media and umpires vote for player of the year.
The Australian vice-captain also took the one-day international player award, while Starc was crowned Test player of the year despite missing half the period with injury.
Shane Watson lifted the Twenty20 medal for a record third time thanks to 298 runs at a strike-rate of 150.51 as well as nine wickets
