There has been a HUGE trend over the last 6 months of the wrong players being awarded the Man of the Match erroneously.
This can fall into one of two camps:
a) Batsmen drawing the eye more than bowlers
or
b) A contributor from a losing side being overlooked.
I will dedicate this thread to those who should be honoured
------
The first in this hall of fame is Adam Zampa whose figures of 3.2-0-17-5 were overlooked for Andre Fletcher's 89. Was an incredible display from Zampa but because it wasn;t accompanied by pyrotechnics it was overlooked.
"It has been said of the unseen army of the dead, on their everlasting march, that when they are passing a rural cricket ground the Englishman falls out of the ranks for a moment to look over the gate and smile."
