The ICC announced tonight that their second annual awards presentation will be held in Sydney on October 11. This takes place between the Johnnie Walker one-dayers and the Johnnie Walker six-dayer, which begins at the SCG on the 14th.

The media release from the ICC says that the evening will be held at "one of Australia's most prestigious hotels". Sounds to me like they haven't booked one yet, have they?

Perhaps any fellow Sydneysiders reading this can help in suggesting an appropriate pub for the ICC's prize night. I'll nominate the Annandale. Live bands, a Thai bistro out the back, tasteful souvenirs, and it's only a couple of minutes walk from my place...
