The Alan Border Medal Diary

[SirBloody Idiot]

I guess you could say this is a rip off of Six and Out's story, but I'm not really original. So bleh...

Basically, I will be going through seasons with Australia, and then holding a medal post at the end with the following categories.

-Alan Border Medallist
-Best Test Player
-Best One Day International Player
-Best First Class Player
-Best Youngster (15 FC Games or less at the beginning of the season)

Will be going Brownlow Medal style, but instead of 3-2-1, it will be 5-4-3-2-1.

Anyway, here we go starting at season 2003/2004.

Just a tip could u attach the actualy match scores aswell... it gives us a better idea of how the match went.

 

[SIX AND OUT]

Hye mate, good to see that my format is looking the goods, and must I say yours is looking much better set out than what mine is, I might just have to steal it

Border medal is hotting up it looks like, good to see Gillespie going well.

I was just wondering - How are you going to select your Young Player of the year. I have done all the same awards in mine, but my COUNTY and YOUNG PLAYER was statistically based, just a look back on the season stats if you know what I mean. Is that pretty much what you are gonna do??

 

[SirBloody Idiot]

Yeah pretty much that's what it is, just a look over the stats.
