**Official** New Zealand v Pakistan in UAE

[Howsie]

Pretty poorly organised, they just seem so budget, it could be because they haven't really got into anything good yet though, it's been mostly chick and old men awards.

 

[Somerset]

How so?

Phil Leishman hosting the show put me right off. The Air New Zealand Cup game was better viewing.

 

[Blakey]

Bring back rixona

 

[Howsie]

Ian Jones lol.

 

[Howsie]

Matthew Sinclair domestic player of the year.

Mark Richardson "Matthew Sinclair, one heck of a domestic cricketer" Nice

 

[Howsie]

All-Rounder of the year was between James Franklin, Daniel Vettori, and Kane Williamson.

Vettori picked it up.

 

[Howsie]

Jesse Ryder won the Redpath? award. I think it's for best batting performance in a test match or FC game as Sinclair was also nomintaed. And Vettori won the bowling equivalent.

Ryder's cracking some jokes, haha good man.

 

[Somerset]

I tuned off after the rugby, but anyone from the national team thanked the coach yet when receiving their award?

 

[Howsie]

Martin Guptill won the Walter Hadlee trophy, Grant Elliott and Ross Taylor were the other two players nomintaed. And Kyle Mills won the bowling equivalent.

 

[Blakey]

All pretty clear cut decisions.

How Flakey Franklin was nominated it beyond me.

Why wasn't Patel up for all rounder of the year?

 

[Howsie]

Daniel Vettori: Cricketer of the year, couldn't really give it too anyone else really.

Uh because Franklin ruled the domestic scene?
State Championship: 631 @ 157.75 (10 W @ 25.40)
State Shield: 306 @ 51 (Economy 4.6)
State T20: 209 @ 69.66 (Economy 7.84)

But maybe you missed that somewhere between him dropping his shoulders and completely changing his batting game.

 

[S.P. Fleming]

these nz cricket awards, did Andy Moles turn up?

I didn't see him at all during the entire night.

 

[Polo23]

I didn't see him at all during the entire night.

Really? I saw him in the background multiple times.

Yep sorry, you're right. Pitty he's never fulfilled his potential and enjoys dining out on a diet of average NZ players.

Full credit to him though.

Well tbh I was hardly watching the thing, I really only took notice when they were announcing the winners.

Also continued that form in the English domestic scene.
Playing for Gloucs

FC: 904 @ 50.22 (31W @ 29)
List A: 447 @ 40.63 SR 90 (13W @ 28.8)

In this last year he pretty much doubled his FC and List A runs from his previous almost ten year career.
