Sports personaility ten on the shortlist

[ryanman]

To be fair Murray has won 6 titles this year, two of which were masters.

Some people that are unlucky to miss out -
Andrew Flintoff
Bradley Wiggins
Lee Westwood

Flintoff received the same number of votes (10) as Tom Daley, so I'm not sure why Daley is in but Flintoff isn't.

Beth Tweddle, again?!
I know she won a world title but it hardly captured the imagination did it?

I don't buy into this 'but he hasn't even got a personality thing'.
Personality doesn't just mean having a personality, its also something you can BE. Somebody is a personality in the world of sport.
This is how its meant, not as in who has the best personality.

For me the award is for achivement of course, but also achievment in an event or situation that captures the attention of the public.
This year i'd say the events/achievments that entered the national consciousness this year include;
Haye's world title win
Button/Brawn's rise from the ashes to win both titles
Ennis' win at world championships
England's Ashes win (The signature moment of which was probably Flintoff's 5fer and one knee celebration...he should be in)

Some fair points there mate, but still have to disagree totally with Murray, I think the problem is that as a nation we are starved with no other players in the Tennis world so Murray is a sole represantative and is a bit over rated because of that.

But in reality the rest of the list are all champions of there chosen sport or have done something amazing in there proffesion, where Murray chocked as usual in the ultimate prizes in tennis.

In all 4 grand slams he was beaton by an inferior opponent ( well a player ranked lower than him ) He did win two masters series is quite an acheivement but not really on the same level as Grnad Slams.

I just think if he had achieved the equivalant in Golf no one would give a shit because we have a dozen or so British players who are world class.

He also has the personality and charisma of a traffic cone.
