Hinds' hard work pays off
The Barbados Nation
Ryan Hinds walked away with the lion's share of awards including
the top prize, but there was controversy over two awards at the
closing dinner of the Nortel Networks Championship at the
Sherbourne Conference Centre Sunday night.
Hinds, captain of three-day champions Barbados, earned the MVP
award on the strength of his 487 runs (ave.81.16) and his six
wickets. His prize was the Learie Constantine Trophy.
He also won the Julian Trophy, which went to the tournament's
leading run-scorer.
There was much hullabaloo over the Jackie Hendriks Trophy, which
was to be awarded to the wicket-keeper with the most dismissals.
It was presented to Barbados' Damien Maynard, who effected ten
dismissals, but Jamaican Mel Wint claimed 12 victims.
The Franz Botek Trophy, awarded to the player with the most
outstanding performance in a match, went to Guyanese left-arm
spinner Hemnarine Harrinarine for his hauls of 8-31 and 0-29 in
the opening match against the Nortel Development XI.
He just edged out fellow Guyanese off-spinner Orvin Mangru, who
took a record haul of nine for 116 against Barbados; Jamaica's
Marlon Samuels, who scored 119 and 36, in addition to his three
wickets against Barbados in the semifinals; and Barbados' Kurk
Wilkinson, who scored 75 and 119 retired hurt in the final
against Trinidad and Tobago.
