Stokes and Bairstow are joined on the list by Brendon McCullum, Steve Smith and Kane Williamson, who has been named Leading Cricketer in the World.The award, which dates back to 1889, uses excellence during the previous English summer as a major criteria, with no player chosen more than once. Stokes was brilliant with the bat throughout the summer and tour of South Africa While Stokes suffered heartbreak at the recent World Twenty20, the all-rounder put in a series of match-changing performances last year, hitting 92 from 94 balls in the first innings against New Zealand at Lords before an 85-ball century on the final day helped secure a 124-run win. Wisden named his diving slip catch on the first morning at Nottingham to remove Australias Adam Voges as the individual moment of the summer, while editor Lawrence Booth called his 258 from 198 balls against South Africa in Cape Town as the longest act of wanton violence by an England batsman in any format.Bairstow was a key figure in Yorkshires County Championship triumph, hitting five centuries while amassing 1,108 runs at an average of 92. Jonny Bairstow hit 150 not out against South Africa at Cape Town On the international stage, his unbeaten 83 from 60 balls in the deciding one-day international against New Zealand saw England to victory before his 74 in a steadying partnership of 173 with Joe Root all-but confirmed the Ashes win. He also hit 150 not out in the drawn Test with South Africa at Cape Town.Im absolutely delighted. Its obviously a great honour to receive the award. A lot of hard works gone in over the last few years, Bairstow told Sky Sports News HQ.You look at the list and the heritage of the award, people who have won it in the past and you sometimes have to pinch yourself that youre on that list. Brendon McCullum leaves a Test field for the final time New Zealand captain McCullum - as he was then - signed off his international career with a 54-ball century, the fastest in Test history, against Australia in February this year, while Steve Smith was a shining light in Australias Ashes defeat - hitting a double-century at Lords and 143 at The Oval in the tourists two wins. Smith finished as the leading run-scorer on either side, with 508.Williamsons brilliant year ended as it began, with a century at home against Sri Lanka and he confirmed his status as one of the games leading players by scoring 2,692 runs in the calendar year - the third highest annual total of all time. Kane Williamson hit the third most runs in a calendar year in 2015 Booth said: The choice of Williamson in an era of highly gifted young batsmen reflects the measured brilliance he brings to every format of the game. Brendon McCullum reckons he is going to be one of the best batsmen the game has ever seen, and its hard to disagree.Fellow Kiwi Suzie Bates was named the Leading Woman Cricketer in the World having consolidating her status as one of the power hitters of the womens game. Suzie Bates has been named Leading Woman Cricketer of the Year She scored 258 during the 5th one-day whitewash of Sri Lanka, having smashed her sixth one-day century in the victory over England in February. Booth added: It needed something special to deny both Meg Lanning and Ellyse Perry this award, and Batess all-round performances were precisely that.

Maybe a little too slick, it seems. Officials called off Friday nights preseason game between the Bucks and Toronto Raptors because of concerns about the condition of the floor. Officials stopped the game with 5:58 left in the first quarter after several players slipped and fell on the court surface. After about 20 minutes worth of discussion, an announcement was made over the arena public address system that the game would not be played. "It was really bad," Raptors guard DeMar DeRozan said. "I couldnt cut to get open. It wasnt the grip, it was just giving way when you try to cut. I was really scared. Amir Johnson and I fell on one play, and I tried to get up and I fell again." Raptors coach Dwane Casey said his players first expressed concern about the floor conditions during pregame warmups. "It felt like it was OK," Casey said. "Then I dont know what happened, but it was too dangerous. We had guys slipping and falling. The last thing we need is to have a guy injured slipping on the floor in a preseason game." NBA lead official Danny Crawford said he and the other officials determined the floor was unplayable. "We kept making eye contact out there and we saw the players were having issues with traction," Crawford said, in an interview with a pool reporter. "Then when we had a few guys go down, we figured we should have a conference. And both teams wanted not to continue the game." Although the Bradley Center also hosts hockey games, Crawford said that condensation wasnt the issue -- leading to questions about the finish of the court surface itself. The court issue comes at a sensitive time for the Bucks, who are making a push for public support to build a new arena. The cancellation announcement to fans was made by former Bucks player John McGlockllin, one of the teams announcers and co-founder of a local charity, the MACC Fund.dddddddddddd Standing on the court, McGlocklin announced that anybody who had tickets to Fridays game could exchange them for tickets to a regular-season home game in November. He also invited fans to shoot baskets on the floor, and said that the evenings planned donation to the MACC Fund would be unaffected by the cancellation -- a sentiment that actually turned boos into cheers for the teams owner, former Sen. Herb Kohl, who was in the stands and stood up during the announcement. Bucks coach Larry Drew said he didnt expect it to be an issue going forward. The Bucks open the season on the road, and host their first regular-season home game Nov. 2 -- also against the Raptors. "I think its an isolated incident," Drew said. "Whatever the issue was, Im sure theyll take care of it." The Bucks recently unveiled their new floor for the 2013-14 season, with a retro look meant to evoke the teams former floor designed by artist Robert Indiana in the late 1970s. "Weve got one of the best-looking floors in the NBA," Bucks guard O.J. Mayo said. "Just tonight, it didnt work out for us. I think well definitely get it under control." The Bucks had played on the floor already, for one practice -- the team typically practices at a separate facility south of downtown -- and a preseason game. Mayo said there werent any issues in either of the teams previous outings on the floor. "It felt great," Mayo said. "We were pretty stoked about how the floor looked. It looks awesome." The Bucks were leading 14-9 when the game was stopped. It was the final preseason game for both teams. "I know that weve got some of the best guys in the world, people in the world, to get it figured out and get it fixed," Mayo said. "Itll be ready for opening night."
