Nomads Player of the Year 2016 etc

Clapham Nomads held our Annual Meeting for last season in the Mirch Masala in Tooting last Sunday.
As ever, the food was delicious and surprisingly affordable. Emil's bone was smaller than in previous years (sorry to be personal) but I'm told it was still sumptuous.
There was a good turnout with 10 of our most regular players from 2016 in attendance; Emil, John, Hassan, Abdul, Riaz, Mahesh, Darwin, Abbas, KK and Nick.
The award winners were;
Fielder of the Year - John Crossland (In his victory speech he said "I love you all"....no, I'm joking, of course.  He said "I know I took 15 catches but it should have been 20.")
Bowler of the Year - A share between the guile and excellent average of KK, and the raw pace and 25 wickets of Abbas.
Batsman of the Year - Hassan Khan - the best average of any regular batsman - the Bradman of the Royal Mail.
Player of the Year - KK - an outstanding first season; his bowling just got better and better.

The first game of the season will be on 23rd April against Surbiton Imperials.

There are 2 remarkable landmarks which should hopefully be achieved this summer.   Hassan needs just just 173 runs (several seasons for me but (?) a couple of innings for Hassan) to become the first Clapham Nomad to score 5,000 runs for the club.
Emil Todorow has now played in 245 consecutive matches for the club, so - weather permitting - he should reach a staggering 250 successive games some time in late May.

Look forward to seeing you all again soon.
