Muftas Awards - Season 2007

[Mr Belly]

I thought it might be an idea to have a board for the Mufta Awards as it's easily to forget these priceless moments once the season has passed.

So nominations for Mufta awards - whether new categories or old ones, serious or silly, plus recipient nominee and, crucially, why....

Cheers

Inzammam Comedy Running Award:
1) - Mr Belly and Amjid (any innings as they usually end in a r.o., but midweek Vs Kirk Brae most recent)
2) - Lager Kidd and Burgers Black (turning 3s into 1s, and refusing a single to long on Vs Grange)
3) - Vesty and Burger Black (thought I'd better include myself for hitting the ball straight to the bowler Vs Holy Cross and taking a single, plus a number of others that day!)

Comedy Catching Award (previously the Tom Hothersall Shield)
- IJM and Ali Amjid for both returning injured from Dunf Wandererererers having each dropped catches, IJM particularly for still being injured the next week.

Lads you don't quite get the idea of this award - Tom usually manages to catch the ball!

Andy Gray Award (sponsored by Pampers):
Phil Rogers after being given out LBW by Tony Vs Watsonians

Selection Award:
Chris Brown - complaining about not being selected yet not being available and not being a paid member.

[beasty]

PR being given out LBW- surely it didn't come as a surprise.
That Tony was asked (surely ordered) to umpire - big surprise.

I propose the 'Derren Brown's Pubes Award' for worst facial hair.

Anybody got any nominations for this one? I can't think of anybody.

And also the 'John Smeaton Have-A-Go Comedy Violence Award' for the civic-minded passer-by who risked some sort of ned fatwa and rugby tackled that spotty little runt who nicked the ball at Roseburn.

This man is a true cricketing hero.

[Mr Belly]

Addition to comedy running has to be Phil Rogers managing to get run out at Leith. The bowler bowled this loopy, slow full toss that cleared the striker (Big Pav) by a mile but descended straight down into the keepers gloves, who looked somewhat bemused while completing the simplest of run-outs that Phil had charged down the wicket from the non-striker's end trying to steal a run. Woor Claypole had been fooled by the initial high trajectory of the ball into thinking it had sailed way over the keepers head. Sadly for Rent-a-Rogers, 2 short of his PB of 82, it hadn't.

Champagne Moment/ Comedy Moment

Ben's flat-hit 6 at Grange Loan that brought up his 100 which nearly took out his spectating girlfriend and her mate on the square-leg boundary.

Beige shirt was binned 18 months ago, hope you wear your glasses when you're driving trains!

I'd like to nominate Phil Rogers (July) for 'Derren Brown's Pubes Award' for worst facial hair. I'd also like to nominate Phil Rogers (June) and Phil Rogers (August). I think he could take a clean sweep of places 2nd-4th. Still can't think of anyone who might win though.

Also the "Here, have a hat-trick" award for generosity towards opposition bowlers (Co-sponsored by Hats R Us and Derren's Magic Tricks Inc.):
Junaid (stumped on hat-trick ball, wasn't it his first game for the club too?)
Sutha (bowled on hat-trick ball on Tues, without even realising it was a hat-trick ball).

Ray Mears' Survival Award (sponsored by Gore-tex) nominations:

Anyone who played in the Sannox Aquadome on Arran. This must go down as one of the wettest matches in history.
