Sachin Tendulkar beats Graeme Swann to ICC gong
http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/cricket/9066824.stm
England spinner Graeme Swann has lost out on the ICC player of the year as the award was picked up by multiple record-breaker Sachin Tendulkar.
But there was consolation for England fans as pace bowler Steven Finn won in the emerging player category.
Tendulkar, 37, has amassed nearly 14,000 runs for India in Test cricket.
Along with Tendulkar and Swann, 31, two batsmen - South Africa's Hashim Amla and India's Virender Sehwag - had been on the shortlist for the top prize.
