The function to honour Australia's best cricketers also had the WAGs in attendance. As the couples walked on the red carpet, the shutterbugs had a great time clicking. 

Michael Clarke arrived with his wife Kyly.

The Australian captain won his fourth Allan Border Medal and was named Australia's Test Player of the Year as well. 

Clarke, who also won the double last year, secured 198 votes largely based on a prolific season that saw him score 1080 runs in the voting period.
