Australian opening batsman Matthew Hayden won the ODI Player of the Year award.
"It is a great honour for me to receive this award. It's not so long ago that my place in the side was far from certain so this is very pleasing for me," Hayden said.
The hard-hitting opener has had an outstanding year in ODIs and played no small part in making sure his side took top honours at the ICC Cricket World Cup in the West Indies.
"Batting with Adam Gilchrist is always fun. I suppose the style we adopt could be regarded as risky and it's definitely something we have talked about," he said.
