AWARDS PlanetCricket 2020 Awards - General chat

[Sherlock Holmes]

Since it is the first time I am actually witnessing this,

how does it work?

nominations are counted as a vote?

or is it just a nomination and then there is another poll with top 4-5 nominations for each category?

Nope.

This, except that all nominations go in instead of top 4-5 (if I'm not wrong)

Nope.

Best League - Centurions by @Pinch hitter

That's the first I am hearing about that league. How didn't it made more noise Manpreet Gony was back on the field it should have been breaking news.
That was unexpected.
That for reminding me Centurions as I have completely forgotten about everything. It will be a tough competition between centurions and royal london for me.

@blockerdave assuming he is eligible

​

how very kind, sadly I have been eligible since before I joined, and will in a few short weeks have a decade of eligibility to look back on...

All the same, I thought it better not to assume! Scarily, I'm getting increasingly close to eligibility myself, even though it seems like only the other day when I would have been eligible for the young member award

 

[LiveLoveABD]

This is a very nice initiative. For me though, I cannot put my vote for most categories as I don't know people's age and stuff like that. The worst part is that even the cricket awards escape me because most of my memories are from 2019.

But, this is hands down my favourite discussion board of any sport and not just cricket. I would also extend thanks to all the moderators, the league organisers and sports book chaps. You all make it collectively a fantastic experience.

I really miss one old friend of mine who is banned and was active around here. His username was something to do with poker.

@NilayShah60 for finally accepting that Kohli isn't a good captain.

Hope you aren't trying to troll me. My personal obsession with Kohli-The Captain was his vision. Like he said I want to make India the best Cricketing nation, I want to be the player of the best side in this world, I want players who are wanting to play every match just to win. I always liked him instilling the belief in the team that they could do anything if they set the bar a bit higher. And those thing at times really seem to have worked but what I failed to notice was the long term effect of all this. Now you see Kohli just wanting to play safe Cricket and make his side look competitive enough to win the match when they were never really into it. The worst thing is that he just doesn't think about the effects of all such things on the players at an individual level. You see now he has completely shattered someone like Rishabh Pant and very soon KL Rahul would face similar consequences which might affect his game severely.

All in good fun mate.

Could I suggest in future having 'age' categories be 0-18 and then 19+ or something like that?

I have no idea how old most people are and don't want to start browsing the forum looking for under 16s.

I was going to post this but I changed my mind. I think "Best young member category (< 15 years)" should be removed or updated from the next time due to lack of people of this category.
