Wisden Australia's Cricketer Of The Year
Each year since it was established in 1998, Wisden Australia has selected one Australian cricketer as Wisden Australia's Cricketers of the Year. The award recognises the selected player's contribution to cricket in Australia in the previous season, in a similar manner to the Wisden Cricketers of the Year, selected by Wisden Cricketers' Almanack based on their influence on the game in England.
Uniquely, the first award was made to a women's cricketer, Belinda Clark. Until Claire Taylor was nominated by Wisden in 2009, no other female cricket player had been a Cricketer of the Year in any format of the almanack.

“I like Australia less and less. The hateful newness, the democratic conceit, every man a little pope of perfection.”
—D.H. (David Herbert)
“Material advancement has its share in moral and intellectual progress. Becky Sharp’s acute remark that it is not difficult to be virtuous on ten thousand a year has its applications to nations; and it is futile to expect a hungry and squalid population to be anything but violent and gross.”
—Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–95)
