As proposed at the AGM, an award will be handed out this year for the best overall batting and bowling performance of the season. It is now clear that awarding a prize based on averages alone does not work well for the AECL (in part due to having to retire on 30; there are a few players who have batted four times without being out).

It is proposed the following format is adopted:

Batting

Each team is to put forward their nomination for the batting award. Each team is to provide the name, number of innings, number of runs scored and the number of not outs (retirals to be classed as not out) for their nominated player.

Bowling

Each team is to put forward their nomination for the bowling award. Each team is to provide the name, number of overs bowled, number of runs conceded and the number of wickets taken for their nominated player.

It is assumed that if the above information is not received by COB Friday 10th August, a nomination will not be being submitted.

After reviewing all information received, a judgement will then be made by a 'select panel'.
