Best batsman: Sudhir
Best bowler: Prakash (incl season best
4-9 in league final, and bowling the opposition captain first ball!)
...although Prakash did also win “Worst
Over of the Year” award for conceding 25 vs Leipzig in the “super
over”!
Best fielder: Roy: never take a single vs
Roy!
... Also had season-best 7 catches, along with Honz
…but Roy also wins “Worst Fielding
Judgment” for overruling the wicketkeeper on a catch, then dropping
it! (in Vienna)
Newcomers: Sid, Jawid, Jan, Matt (two games,
two ducks!), Kirti Raj, Alex, Ady, Oliver, Asif,
Ricky and Vijithkumar.
“Best newcomer” - Rahul (season
best 71*, though Sudhi did get 70* in last
game!)
“Most melodramatic catch” - Roy
(cartwheeling C&B vs Barbars)
“Most aggressive batsman” - can only be the man who walks
5m down the wicket every time! – Rahul
“Best dressed” - Asif, Manish
and Rohit, who were asked to change out of
their white kit during the T20 (white-ball!) final!
“Best debut” - co-winners Oliver
for taking a wicket in his first ever over of league cricket! And Jan
for being in the middle, and “running” the winning runs
in his first ever innings in league cricket! (even if he was 0* off
0 balls!)
“Hat-trick of the Year” - Wojtek
for being dismissed 3 times in 3 balls at nets, a team hat-trick!
“Worst attempt at scoring 'six to win'” - Sudhir
(clean bowled vs Dresden)
The “don't talk to strangers” award – Adrian
(a long night in Dresden!)
“Navigational expertise of the year” – co-winners
Rahul and Dan for
ending up 70km in the wrong direction from Dresden on the way home –
then we had to drive all the way back to Dresden before going home!
“Most extravagant winning shot” – Roy
(Dilscoop in 40-over final!)
“Longest innings ever by a Russian” - Slava
for his epic innings vs Dejvice
“Longest time spent arranging the field” - Drakey
(aka “Sixfer”)
“Deserved injury” award - Vijay
for excessive girliness in the field which resulted, quite rightly,
in the ball hitting him anyway!
“Harsh lesson” award - Jakub for
fearlessness in nets, and learning (the hard way) that a box is very
essential in cricket!
“Comeback” award – Talib
for his return in the PCC Sixes Day, including some great “test-match”
batting and throwing his wicketkeeping gloves off to complain that he’d
been stung by a bee!!
“Loudest tutting” - Drakey fielding
at slip vs Vienna
“Catch of the year” - a few possibilities but Honza’s
one-handed catch gave Sudhir his only wicket
of the season in Vienna
...and finally, the “Outstanding Services in the field of Topless
Bowling” award – Andy (Vienna)
Thanks to everyone above and everyone else who was involved
this year for providing great entertainment! And we look forward to
making 2012 bigger and better! |
