The handing out of trophies is always eagerly anticipated at awards dinners. It's an honour to be nominated etc blah blah blah. But who WON those babies? As far as Wickman can remember it went thus:
Fielder of the Year: Nominated: Jimmy C, Barrell Winner: SayceyBowler of the Year: Nominated: PE Man (Shaun Whinney), Kamran Winner: Junaid
Batsman of the Year: Nominated: Fudgey, Mackie Winner: Kamran Of the prizes for cricket, Junaid's fantastic performance as a young star of the future was difficult to ignore for the judges. This boy's a talent and no mistake. Similarly you couldn't ignore the weight of runs - including a big ton which was later described to me by Bobby in almost breathless terms - and the other "minor" knocks that Kam put together when it came to the batting award. And of course with Kam being close to the bowling award too it was really a very good all round performance that was going to keep him out of the cricketer of the year top spot. Shuan was recognised for his all round performances with bat and ball alongside Junaid's bowling... but it really did HAVE to be Kam.
