The Weekly Nugget Awards

The Third Man team are delighted to announce a couple of new weekly awards - the Nuggets. Each week we will pick the outstanding performance to receive the Golden Nugget and the worst performance to receive the Chicken Nugget.

Golden Nugget - 18 April 2010
The first winner of a Golden Nugget is Yass Bahemou for his fabulous innings of 98 for the 3rd XI v Broadwater on the Nevill; a fine innings, by all
accounts from a talented young cricketer.

Runners Up -

Tim Jarvis 61 for 1st XI

Eswar Kalidasan 42* for 1st XI

Craig Lees 2 for 12 for 2nd XI

Abhi Khilare 79* & 2 for 27 for 3rd XI

Chicken Nugget - 18 April 2010

The first winner of a Chicken Nugget is Yass Bahemou! Being run out on 98 is bad enough but off a no-ball? Yass was batting wonderfully well & looked set for a century. Unfortunately  he mis-hit a high full toss to square leg & thinking he was out began to walk off. However the square leg umpire had called no ball, one fielder shouted "run him out" and, in the confusion, Yass began to run. Unfortunately he didn't make his ground and had to continue his long walk back to the pavilion.

As you can only be run out if attempting a run Yass would have been fine if he had not begun to run!

Another valuable lesson in life's rich tapestry!
