If anyone thinks I have made a mistake, let me know and I will check the books.

What an incredible season for Zia. One of the best batting averages, possibly the best, for anyone playing a full season. 693 runs - the most for any Nomads player in a season and an incredible 6 successive 50s including 2 centuries. Hasan had a great average as well. In most seasons 48.71  would be enough to be top of the list.

Zia top wicket-taker as well and with the best average, though KK was quite close behind.  Emil and Sami bowled much better than their averages suggest. Sami bowled a lot of good spells where he did not give away many runs. At least he has the compensation of having the season's best bowling figures in a match with 5 for 47 - the only man to take 5 wickets in a match.

PLAYER OF THE SEASON.

Clearly this is Zia - a brilliant season. (Player of the Year and Batsman of the Year)

We will have the meeting on Sunday 7th April and we can still vote on Bowler of the Year - My nominations would be Zia and KK. Also Fielder of the Year - My nominations are Hasan - the most catches; Zia - the most run outs; John - throwing himself around like a young man; Emil - Despite a few injuries he is fielding better now than 20 years ago. He took the catch of the season (a breath-taking one-handed catch.)


Hope to see you all on 7th April.
