Its been a long time coming, I know, but I'm pleased to finally announce the 2012 season SpecialEffect Tigers Player's Player (or Tiger's Tiger, if you like).
The voting turned into two horse race: Robbie Nicholson, the Tigers' Big Gun, who racked up a Tigers batting average of over 90 and an equally devastating bowling average versus the youngest Tiger in the Ambush, Cameron Newton-Grain.
Well, the youngest of the two Tigers edged it by a single vote.
That's right, Cam Newton-Grain is the SpecialEffect Tigers 2012 Player's Player.
Here's what a few of the Tigers said about Cam ...
****
"... for 14 years old I thought he did fantastically well ..."
****
"Cam has been the most Improved, consistent and determined player to turn out for us and if for no other reason than "That Catch" alone."
****
"A very promising young bowler who showed potential with the bat in hand as well.
Oh
and who can forget that catch, I've played a lot of cricket in my time
but that is without doubt the best catch I've seen. Shades of Paul
Collingwood's catch against Australia a few years ago.
So
there we go, my vote goes to Cam Newton-Grain, a very promising young
cricketer, a pleasure to play with and a great kid as well!"
****
Congratulations Cam and thanks to all you Tigers who voted.
