Awards

Heath Streak Medal
(Most Successful Local Player)

The Heath Streak Medal goes to Tendai Chisoro (Southern Rocks). Who was by far the most consistent local player. Gave every match his all, getting regular wickets at a good economy. Is also a handy lower order batsman, which we didn?t get to witness this season.

Grant Flower Medal
(Most Successful International Player)

The Grant Flower Medal goes to AB de Villiers (Manicaland Bulls) & Muttiah Muralitharan (Matabelaland Tuskers). AB de Villiers saved his best for the last match of the season, scoring an aggressive century in the final of the Stanbic Bank 20 Series. Also scoring consistently during the season. Muttiah Muralitharan was a genuine strike bowler during the season, taking sixteen wickets in the Metbank Pro40 Championship and another seven in the Stanbic Bank 20 Series.

Andy Flower Medal
(Most Successful Manager)

Andy Flower Medal goes to Zohaib (MB) & p23456789 (MTN). Zohaib managed Manicaland Bulls to victory in the Stanbic Bank 20 Series & to the semi finals of the Metbank Pro40 Championship. He showed great support for his players and the team as a whole. p23456789?s team the Mountaineers weren?t the most consistent side this season, but won crucial matches that led them to play in both finals this season. He made tough choices when needed to get the best eleven players on the field.​

Nice Update mate!!

Congratz to all the mamagers who won awards

 

[Near]

Yaay! I got an award. Although my players didn't I am sure Sangkkara and Kallis gave a fight for the Most Successful International player. How about an award for the most successful captain? And the most disappointing overseas player? I will write a whole team review today.

 

[Gaurav_7]

Yes, Chisoro he is the man. He represents us solely in everything. Absolutely deserved that acknowledgment.

 

[CremerCurrans]

Nice Update mate!!

Thank you.

Yaay! I got an award. Although my players didn't I am sure Sangkkara and Kallis gave a fight for the Most Successful International player. How about an award for the most successful captain? And the most disappointing overseas player? I will write a whole team review today.

Sangkkara and Kallis were very close to winning the Grant Flower Medal. Will stick with those three medals for now. Might add most successful young player next season.

 

[Zohaib]

For next season I dont want 2 of my overseas players I Bell and S Marsh

 

[CremerCurrans]

Yes, Chisoro he is the man. He represents us solely in everything. Absolutely deserved that acknowledgment.

I like that your still very much a part of the league.

 

[Gaurav_7]

I like that your still very much a part of the league.

I love this for some reason, I check this more often. It is just I'm a bit indulged in other things and managing a team isn't my thing. But, I love the way you have managed this one.

Also, for ZPLXI I'd recommend you to open with Taylor and bring Sachin at 3.

okay then will remember that. But just wait until I post season three / draft details. Which I'll be doing that after Africian Cup finishes. You might change your mind.

 

[Zohaib]

Ok I will wait.

I think the line-ups are meant to stay the same for all three matches. But because it's you, I'll look into it .

Team Review:​

Players:

Kumar Sangakkara(c): Was my trump card throughout the season. Batted superbly in every format.Can't ask for a better performance. Will surely be one of the main players retained.

Jaques Kallis: My second trump card. Although his bowling wasn't as good as his batting he sometimes picked up crucial wickets and another sure retained player.

Craig Ervine: Had an okay season. I expected a bit better after the tour where he had an average of 54.4 but hasn't lived up to that mark but still is a big part of the team.

Malcolm Waller: Replaced the retired players and had a good season. He played a few superb knocks at times and I was satisfied with his performance.

Regis Chakabva: Didn't get too many chances to show his batting skills but when needed I can turn on him to get a good innings in.

Eoin Morgan: A big asset to the team. Morgan has satisfied me with his batting and is surely to be retained as well.

Gary Ballance: A disappointment although he didn't get too many chances the two chances that he got he scored 14 at an average of 7 which is not good enough. Has a chance of getting axed out from the team

Vusi Sibanda: His horrible run at the practice matches against Australia was the reason he didn't get a chance at the tournaments. Another disappointment and a perfect example of how high I take the performances in practice matches. 60 percent chance of getting axed

Graeme Cremer: Superb in the tour but not even close to that level in the tournaments. A disappointment but still plays a big part to the team

Prince Masavure: Didn't get the chance to show his batting talent but was a disappointment in the bowling department. Still a valuable all-rounder

Paul Collingwood: Didn't get enough chance but with Kallis in the side how can he get one?80 percent chance of getting axed

Michael Clarke: Horrible run at the practice games and as a result had to sit out at the main tournaments. Might just get axed

Stuart Broad: Another disappointment. Was effective against Australia but that was it. Not even close to the level of Rusty Theron and Morne Morkel.

Rusty Theron: My T-20 specialist did his job in style. A valuable player indeed.

Morne Morkel: Had an okay season. Superb in One Days but didn't get a chance in the T20's thanks to his teammate Theron.

Suraj Randiv: Had a superb season. On top form, performed much better than expected. Surely retained

Tinashe Panynagara: Was superb at the practice matches but not on that level at the tournament.

Anthony Ireland: A big disappointment. Had a bad season in all formats.
