I'm staggered. How could this possibly happen?

I have no interest in cricket and now being based in the US know even less about the game other than England won the one day world cup.He won England the World cup. It's first ever.
I understand he had a spectacular last over or the over time over. So my question is.... Is he up for it it solely based on that one over, the game, the tournament or the whole season?
I am asking as i have no idea myself.

SPOTY used to be an absolutely brilliant watch now it’s just a politically correct piece of virtue signalling shite paying fawning tribute to sports “stars” noone’s fucking heard of.
Really pleased that Raz is getting recognition but as a player in a team game was he fundamental enough to our success to warrant winning an award for individual achievement ? Not for me.
But I can’t envisage any fair and balanced judgement failing to give us the team of the year award if they still have it although I realise some physically impaired lesbian women’s hockey team from the Asian sub continent are probably a shoo in as things stand.

He was instrumental in the whole tournament - which was played for nearly 2 months and the ashes test series.
The voting is more bent than VAR, the winner will have been decided months ago.He will have no chance, all the bitter dippers will use at least a months worth of dole to vote for all the other nominees.
If the BBC want to go for the token black guy, Hamilton or Sterling will win it.
My money is on Raheem.
SPOTY should be just about sports achievement and nothing to do about racism.
Why?
He’s a sportsman, who uses his personality and experience to try and change the game for the good. All whilst being relatively at the top of his game for club and country winning a historic domestic quadruple.
I must be missing something.

It's not called the anti racism awards.Why?

It's called SPOTY . It's not based on a person's personality. As I quoted in an earlier post here's a couple of past winners.
Andy Murray
Ryan Giggs
Personality= famous person.

On The One Show last night they revealed the 6th and last nominee, Katerina Johnson-Thompson. Cue a recorded ringing endorsement from Alexander-Arnold and Oxlade-Chamberlain dressed in full dipper kit.

Must be a rogue faction of the BBC that decided this, I imagine the responsible party will be 'Epsteined' soon.
