[MaD]

Best effort? That was a way below par score, great win for Callum, looking forward to next season and hopefully we can also convert (2nd) last to first

^ how your team beat my team i will never know

shoaib malik best batsmen award

 

[Biggy]

Fun fact: Kumar Sangakkara topped the catches list with 33, next closest was AB de Villiers with just 17!

 

[CG123]

I don't think I'll pick up any awards, it was a team effort, and none of my players were really amazing.

 

[CG123]

Last season I released 12 players and look where it got me.

 

[riz7khan12]

thank you varun

i have to be there first when the draft starts.

 

[CG123]

You might not even be drafting in the first round, the people who released the most players will get first choice of the free agents.

 

[riz7khan12]

i might be close, most of my players have to leave anyways.

Geelong Gladiators Season Review​

Michael Clarke - 7/10
Disappointing batting return on his first season. As a captain he took it up a level, leading the Gladiators to the final hurdle.

Ryan ten Doeschate - 10/10
Had a season like none other, the main reason behind Geelong's great mid season run. Was the second highest run scorer in the competition (by 1 run!) as well as taking 15 wickets with a miserly economy rate of 4.2

JP Duminy - 7/10
Came into the team for the last four games, putting the selectors to shame.

Shivnarine Chanderpaul - 8/10
Was for season reason dropped, after a second awesome season.

David Hussey - 8/10
The most improved player. Averaged the most and scored consistently. Leaked runs with the ball

Michael Klinger - 8/10
Was promoted to to open but with limited success. Injury cruelled his season and he'll be wanting to return to the lofty peaks of season I.

Matthew Wade - 5/10
Played a role down the order, but couldn't live up to expectation. Keeping was as good as ever.

Alex Keath - 5/10
The young all rounder showed good signs in his first season in the APL. Unable to take a wicket but impressed many with his game.

Ed Cowan - 4/10
After being one of the best during the local FC season he couldn't repay the team that recruited him. Went without a fifty and struck the ball at just 67.

Dale Steyn - 7/10
Had a good wicket taking season, conceding just 4.7 runs an over but averaged over 30 and looked tired in his second season.

Shoaib Akthar - 3/10
After carving up the first season he was beyond crap. Economical but only took 8 wickets at 55, after opening the bowling.

Peter Siddle - 6/10
Unfortunately expensive, which limited his overs per game. Did his job until being dropped.

Cameron Boyce - 9/10
The revelation of the season. Took 21 wickets at 29.7 and conceded just 4.8 runs per over. One for the future at 20 years old.

Trent Copeland - 7/10
Showed very good signs late in the season, taking regular wickets and stifling batsmen as first change.
