Cheers Prats. Loved your final write-up. Top class league management. The perfect parting gift for any manager. :cheers
 
Superb league!

Nice final presentation Prats. It would have been nice to continue but my time won't allow it unfortunately.
 
My bad luck in finals continue here also
Poor performance from our overseas players, Morgan try his best to chase this total but Odoyo played really slow
 
Presentation will be posted today.

Till then keep the feedback and suggestions coming. :)
 
What a knock by the winning captain there. Sachin and Gauti played a huge role in that victory. And the bowlers being economical, looked good too.

Congrats Prats for a successful season.

Eoin Morgan, an Irish-born Englishman who was a part of Hamilton Hereos team, with a reputation for inventive and audacious strokeplay scored 467 runs with an average of 77.8. His bold approach and crisp hitting was proved as he scored four 50s and one century. It was enough to prove that he had the mettle to take his game a step higher and spur the progress of his team.

Highest wicket taker

Andre Botha, originating from South Africa was a part of Nairobi Nomads team. A useful all-rounder who is more with the ball than bat and swings the bowl a bit, struggled with the bat but topped the table of highest wickets with 16 wickets at an average of 23.9 in 11 matches he played. At the last moment, he overtook Morne Morkel with his 3 important wickets in the finale game. He was actually a surprise package for his team.

Highest Individual Score

Hashim Amla, an right handed opener of Montreal Hawks is an elegant, stroke-filled player blessed with the temperament to make the most of his talent. He made he debut for Montreal against Hamilton and scored a fluent century to win the game for his team. After failing for the next match, Amla smashed and impressive 128 runs off 134 balls against Dublin which was the highest score made by any individual. He always did good by keeping his good form with the bat. A quiet man, there is no doubting Amla's immense hunger for runs. He is definitely plays the best role of Montreal's batting bulwark. He also finished as Montreal's highest run-getter.

Best bowling figures

Ryan ten Doeschate has been the big name in Nairobi Nomads team because of his great all round skills. He became the first player to grab a five-wicket haul in MCC season one. By then he was already known as the star all round player in the squad. He displayed his top-class bowling skills against Kabul by getting a 5W haul but was unfortunate to lose the match. He finished with 15 wickets at end of the season. Just a wicket less than Andre Botha.
