  Seems reasonable mini , but obviously flawed. Last week Ponting scored a ton at less than a run a ball and in the same game Oram scored the fastest one day ton in NZ history in 70-odd deliveries. Nz lost and Ponting was MOTM...............call me daft if you like , but I know which was the better performance.

My point exactly, surely the fact New Zealand lost shows just how tough it was for Oram to get that brilliant knock, against a more difficult attack than Ponting it has to be said as well. Had New Zealand won the match undoubtedly Oram would have walked off with the MOTM award.

County Sim on extended break until I've got less work and more free time. When I have a specific date, I'll post it in the thread.

Right, so is everyone putting their weight behind Oram for this week's award?

Any other contenders for us to think about?

Ed Joyce scored a century that actually counted for something

I would nominate Joyce's hundred, England desperately needed someone to play the innings that would give them a boost against Australia and his was all the more admirable for him being a relatively junior member of the side.

Joyce's knock was vital for England and himself , but he carried a lot of luck. I'd have thought Tait will be on his Christmas list after that appalling drop when he was still in single figures!

Surely Collingwood is going to get a look in this week, considering the situation and opposition that he scored his runs at it was quite an achievement. Not to mention bowling a full 10 overs and getting two vital wickets as well.

If England pull this one off Colly has to be the frontrunner [205-4...]

Certainly a leading contender but the SA - Pakistan games could throw up a candidate I suppose

Collingwood 2 match winning centuries in a week 14 overs, 2wickets, 1 catch, 2 run outs. Without a doubt it's got to be Collingwood.

I would go for Afridi .77 of 35 plus 2 wickets at a good rate .

To be fair I haven't really been following SA-Pak aside from noticing SA romped the first game, what's been happening?

Pakistan romped the second game on the back of a sublime Yousuf century and a typically mad Afridi innings

You'd be up in arms if we didn't pick a man who'd made consecutive scores of 65, 87*, 85, 35, 77, and 32*. And they won the tournament!

Kerm; Canada and Bangladesh were in action, for whom Saqibul Hasan was considered for his man of the match performance.
