Vote for your men's cricketer of 2010-2019 (semi-finals)

And then there were four. The quarter-finals threw up two one-sided contests: AB de Villiers, with 88% of the votes polled, trumped his long-time team-mate Dale Steyn; while India captain Virat Kohli (73%) beat England's World Cup and Headingley hero Ben Stokes (27%). But the excitement in the round lay elsewhere. Just 12 percentage points separated Kane Williamson and Steven Smith. The epic contest, though, was the subcontinent tussle between MS Dhoni and Shakib Al Hasan. Over 1.65 million votes were clicked, as fans on both sides battled it out to get their icons into the semi-finals. In the end it was neck-and-neck, and perhaps deserved a tie, but the India and Chennai Super Kings superstar prevailed "by the barest of margins".

Now it's time to you to pick again, with the two winners making it to the final showdown. Will Williamson triumph in another Fab Four battle, will it be a reunion between RCB team-mates, or will it be an all-India contest? The ESPNcricinfo staff pick will be revealed in a few days too.

Note: The voting for this round closes at 10am GMT on January 5, 2020.
