Clarke wins Young Cricketer Award
CricInfo Staff - 31 August 2002
Surrey's Rikki Clarke has won the Cricket Writers' Club Young Cricketer of the Year award after one of the tightest votes in recent years.
The 20-year-old all-rounder claimed the prestigious prize by one vote from
Kent's Robert Key, who made his England debut this summer after Marcus Trescothick suffered a broken thumb.
Clarke won the award ahead of seven other nominations, including Warwickshire's Graham Wagg and Ian Bell, Worcestershire's Kabir Ali, Sussex's Tim Ambrose and Matthew Prior, Richard Dawson from Yorkshire and Lancashire all-rounder Kyle Hogg.
