Andy Murray, Amir Khan, Rory McIlroy for BBC Sports Personality 2011.

Personally I can't see beyond McIlroy.

I agree the England test team rank number 1 in the world a great feat.

There are not many top sports where England are ahead of the pack.:)

I would love to see Mark Cavendish win this - winner of the Tour de France Green Jersey, 5 Tour De France stage wins, 20 in total, World Road Race rainbow jersey winner. Truly a cyclist at the very peak of their profession.

Never gonna happen though

There's a campaign going on (apparently on twitter) to get this awared to Gary Speed. Personally I don't agree with that if its true.

I think that is for coach of the year rather than the main award.

I don't think he was on the shortlist of that award to start with. If that's the case than I think its a bit crass to add him because he killed himself/died.

I think they should recognise his achievements, and his potential by a special award as opposed to adding him to a shortlist for an award that he had nlt been considered for in the first place.

I don't know. He could be on the shortlist I think. His success with Wales is impressive and it's hard to think of many coaches who have a better claim. Maybe Lambert.

To be honest I'd like sporting personalities to win it. And you dont have to be a winner to have a personality.

So for me, I'd go with Swan over Strauss because he's more of a personality (imo) if we're talking cricket.

I'd love to see David Hayes win it. Ok he might have lost his fight to Klitschko but he had everyone talking about it leading up and after the fight. Who cares if some of what he said was in bad taste, personally I think it made a lot of people want to watch him.

He didn't just lose though, he ran, no wonder his toe was hurting at the end.

Clue's in the title, BBC sports personality of the year, it used to be limited to people who appeared of Granstand, Sportsview or some show like that IIRC which is why Bob Nudd never won, perhaps it's changed over the years since they started to lose sports rights.

It would have to change or next year we would only have the world jelly throwing champion and tic tac toe champion to choose from. ;)
