Now that the Logan cup is over, I was wondering who everyone would vote for as player of the season for each category. I have added 4 categories but feel free to add more:

Batting
Bowling
All rounder
Up coming talent

You can base it on statistics, or from what you have seen throughout the season. I have definitely seen some great performances throughout the season live.

My votes:

Batting - Ben Compton - Run machine, I think he had a 79 average and carried his side with the bat throughout the season. It’s a shame he is not Zimbabwean

Bowling - Victor Nyauchi - I know I’m biased about this one because I love the guy, but his numbers have been excellent, I haven’t seen a bowler as dangerous as him with the new ball. Can’t wait see him in national colours again.

Allrounder - Wellington Masakadza - close call with Wesley but Wellington gets my vote. A very solid bowler, doesn’t turn it much but his accuracy puts a lot of pressure on batsmen. His batting has been great all season, think he averaged almost 50 in the end. He was that good he was given the nod to open in the last game where he made a 50.

Up coming talent - Clive Madande - No doubt about this one, his batting has been excellent. Needs work on his keeping a bit but his performances have him a National call up and I’m sure he will make his debut for Zimbabwe either this year or next.

Cheers,
Cal

Can't argue with any of that really.


I'd suggest Ervine for batting. 150 more runs than Compton and an almost-the-same average. Ervine did have the benefit of batting with a much better line-up though.

And for bowling, Nyauchi did great - but maybe Masuku. Leading wicket taker; that's the second time in his career he's topped the charts.

Agree with Wellington and Madande!

So three of my winners are Tuskers. They've got a really serious team - imagine if they had Williams playing too!
