John Blain has won Scottish cricket's top honour in being named their Allrounder of the Year. Blain picked up the accolade at the Cricket Scotland Annual Awards Dinner in Edinburgh on Wednesday.

Blain, the opening bowler and lower-order batsman, was part of Scotland's World Cup campaign, and also played one-dayers against India and West Indies later on in 2007, taking wickets steadily.

Majid Haq won the international bowler's prize, and Neil McCallum the batsman's award.

Roddy Smith, chief executive of Cricket Scotland, told The Scotsman: "In 2007, the national squad played against all the full Test countries bar New Zealand and England and played cricket in nine countries. Majid, John and Neil have performed consistently well."
