Cricket-Match-Special ... A forum for discussion

Who do you think. I'm probably not the person to choose these, being a scorecard follower of CC, but these seem reasonable choices. Also, name a young player. My suggestion is Sam Hain.

POTY: Adam Lyth

YPOTY: Alex Lees

Hard to argue against Lyth really. Phenomenal season.

Six centuries. In the era of the two divisions, surely few have scored more than that?

Joyce scored seven centuries this season. And in 2 fewer matches.

I saw that then forgot it. Yes, great season for him.

But batted same amount of innings as Lyth and scored two fewer double centuries, in theory Lyth has scored 8 centuries

Jeetan Patel has just won the MVP title that's good enough for me.

Only 4 points ahead of Darren Stevens who isn't even on this list.

Or Allenby. But no one would vote for them I didn't think? Or Hogan. Or even Tom Smith. I picked people who performed somewhere near the bigger stories of the season.

Fair enough, Footitt and Gidman shouldn't be in on that account. I thought Footitt's number of wickets was too extraordinary to ignore, but maybe I would have been more consistent leaving him out. As I implied, I'm sure others could make a better list.

Lyth just shades it over Jeetan Patel for me.

Batsmen always win over bowlers, they are the glamour boys of cricket.

Whilst Lyth seems the obvious choice, I'd actually go for Rashid. Lyth might have scored heavily at the top of the order, but I reckon it was Rashid's phenomenal number of runs scored down the order that really killed other teams off. Whenever teams may have felt they perhaps had a sniff of getting back into the game, Rashid snuffed it out, and then more often than not, followed that up by killing them with the ball in their second innings as well.

True, and although keepers are often heard on the pitch, they seldom are off it.
