A bit light on awards this week, seeing as only 1 of the 3 bothered to send me any information - cheers guys (!)
Shahid Afridi Award for (Best post of the week) Like an innings by the great man, it does not have to be very long, to be great viewing. And the Winner is: Nobody - sorry, but I don't have time to look back over the last weeks and nothing immediately springs to mind.
Shane Warne Award for (Best thread of the week) Like his bowling it must be interesting but just like his private life it can also be controversial. And the Winner is silentstriker for the combined round table threads, here and here
Skull Award (Funniest post of the week) Just like the king of the one liner Kerry O’Keefe, can also be serious. And the Winner is: An audio one for Neil Pickup telling his mum he was sat on the internet talking about Cricket.
Tony Greig Award (Worst prediction of the week) Will he ever live down that ‘We will make them grovel’ prediction re- the West Indies? And the Winner is: Prince EWS for this beauty - pity he wasn't right though
Inzamam Award (Vaguest poster of the week) We are not sure what he is talking about, but we hope he knows. And the Winner is: AussieDominance, answers as to what this means on a postcard please!
Sir Geoffrey Award (Most knowledgeable poster of the week) We were going to call this the Richie Benaud award, but after speaking to Boycs, he assured us he new twice as much as Richie. And the Winner is: BoyBrumby - A lot of sense came from him this week, then he ruined it with the Symonds avatar...
Bradman Award (Overall CW poster of the week) Simply the best no matter what the debate or criteria. And the Winner is: Nobody - unfortunately nobody who is eligible for an award stood out this week, probably because the overall standard is higher than it used to be.
Agarkar/Mohammed Award ('At least they're trying')
just like the players this award is named after, they may not be quite good enough for any other award, but at least we remember them. And the Winner is: The BLE group - got to admit there's persistence there, pity he's persisting in being such a pain.
Mike Hussey Award for best newcomer (less then 500 posts), not too many have had a great debut and continued success like “Mr Cricket” And the Winner is:
James - Not for anything he's posted, but rather for this
Gatting V Rana Award for the best debate of the week, and the winners are: No names really, but all those involved with the audio clips were superb.
***NEW*** - Saj Award for best rant of the week (following Saj's outburst after the 3rd Test, and no Saj, we don't know what you were doing out there either, it's a sad indictment on the quality of our reserves: Krishna_j for a bit of an umpiring moan here
