The three nominations for Player of the Year were Kammy, Richard Cole and Dominic Lown. In a year when Kamran scored more than 600 runs and Dom Lown outbowled Saqqy it was going to take an extra special season from one player to knock them off the top perch.
Richard Cole's stats for the year are seriously impressive. Five fifties a five for and a four for (someone dropped his five for on this occasion behind the stumps. Who is Wickman?) were highlights, but this correspodent was more impressed this year with the manner of Richard's performances. At Old Paulines in mid season he scored 44 out of 50 on the board chasing an awkward total. His 90 not out against the same oppo at home belittled a slightly more taxing chase. This was really dominant, fluent batting which broke opposition hearts. Well done Rich. Well deserved. Vintage stuff.
