I’ll second that. Round it out with the Black Caps, Stead, Kane Williamson and Lisa Carrington. Sorted.

I never know how they actually choose winners of this thing, but the Black Caps winning the WTC is a feat that is unlikely to be replicated. We were punching so far above our weight to win that thing it's not even funny. We'll probably win the T20 or ODI WC's at some point as there's so much luck involved there, but not the tests, that's where your depth of talent gets tested to the maximum.

Expect Nico and Zoi to feature next year as these awards are for the sporting year from 1 December 2019 to 30 November 2021.
Olympic gold medallists usually win in an Olympic year so the likes of Bond, Carrington and the eights will be a good pick. The team will be the hardest to decide.
Stamenic or Fairweather for Emerging Talent.

Yes. From their website:
The 59th ISPS Handa Halberg Awards ceremony will recognise achievements in the 2020 and 2021 years, due to the impact of Covid-19 on international sport the Awards ceremony in 2021 was a ‘Decade Champion’ celebration.

Those judges do love their Olympians, don't they.
Personally, I think the cricketers burgling their way to a WTC final and then winning it is a bigger achievement. Took an extended period of success, and one that is very very unlikely to ever be achieved again by us. By comparison, 5 gold medals is amazing - but the table below shows it's been done a hundred times or so. So awesome, but in a niche sport. The scale of the challenge climbed by the Black Caps tips them for me.
That said, our most successful Olympian, so can see why the judges broke the way they did.

Happy to have a discussion comparing cricket with kayak racing. Only ten nations, but it includes India (and Pakistan), which means billions following it.
