Wednesday Winner ...

Congrats to all the winners in each category.

This blog is particularly for my team mate Sridhar, who has been really one of the Best bowlers in TCA till now.

After reading this blog and stats, you can decide does he not deserve an award for his efforts and figures ?

No offense here to any player or individual. This is what I have experienced and noticed, just putting everything on the paper. Not at all trying to influence the results nor expecting any justification. I am writing all these things because I have been following my team stats from the day one I have joined them. If you look into your own team stats, you also may come up with something more interesting. I am taking examples of just my team members. There could be many other people who may be so close but never got noticed.

I will take you back in Open 2008

Sridhar was not selected for award because he had more Eco than the bowler which was selected. Although he had more number of wickets and one match less then the other player.

Stats

Bowler Sridhar - 18 wickets, 4.39 economy --- Not selected

Bowler XYZ - 17 wickets, 2.82 economy ---- Selected

In KO 2009

ABC was given best bowler above Sridhar because he had played one match less. Although from stats its very clear Sridhar had more no.of wickets less Eco.

Stats P O M R W v Ecn.

Sridhar 5 13.0 1 39 11 3.00 ---- Not selected

ABC 4 12.0 0 53 10 4.41 ---- Selected

In Open 2009

Open 2009 has had lots of ups and down. There have been head to head matches and points table have been really close. I am sure it must be equally difficult to decide the Best category awards.

I am just going to talk about Best Bowler category.
