Hashim Amla rounded off a remarkably consistent year with the bat by claiming top honours at the 2010 SA Cricket Awards on Tuesday evening. Amla has been in his element over the last twelve months, scoring 923 runs with four centuries at 65.92 in nine Tests against England, India and West Indies. His exploits earned him the two most coveted recognitions of the night - the South African cricketer of the year and the Test cricketer of the year awards.

In addition, Amla's consistency was recognized by his peers and the wider public as he was voted the SA players' player and the CSA fans' cricketer of the year. His match-winning knock of 253 not out against India in Nagpur won the "So Good!" award reserved for the best individual match performance.

AB de Villiers, who plundered four ODI centuries during the evaluation period, including three in successive innings, was named the ODI cricketer of the year. Fast bowler Charl Langeveldt picked up the international Pro20 award, while Ryan McLaren, who made his Test and ODI debuts during the evaluation period, won the newcomer of the year award.
