I was only here for 2 months of the English season, but I think I got the gist of it.
So I will give out the special English domestic cricket with balls awards.
Today we have the Johnny Cash and Steve Jobs Awards.
Johnny Cash Award
Tough one in this season, Eyelids Pattinson came from no where and took wickets in every orifice.
Imran Tahir is a journeyman, but he took Hampshire on a ride from relegation to Championship contender.
He may not have been good enough to play for Western Australia for most of his career, but Murray Goodwin was all over the domestic competitions this year. Ask Notts.
Fuck them all though, Steve Harmison gave Durham a weapon of mass destruction and they used it t win the championship, so he gets the award.
The Steve Jobs award
Dirty Dirk Nannes diving to give Middlesex millions in the Caribbean and India.
The best fielding from a bad (read shithouse) fielder ever.
It was not the dive of a Kolpak cashing in, it was the dive of a man who wants to win at every he plays at.
I also like the idea that the worst fielder in the side saved the side after a wayward throw from a much better fielder almost lost it in one throw.
Tomorrow is the andy warhol and briteny spears awards.www.cricketwithballs.com... Aussie Haiku straight to your box
