The Professor's Cricketer of the Day

[The Professor]

Another one where an obscure young African player pips a more popular choice. I'm just a sucker for big wickets and low economy.

Uganda Under 19s' Richard Agamiire got 6-22 against Botswana Under 19s.

Tammy who?

[Durhamfootman]

Taylor, for me. Devastating assault on the SA bowlers.

[The Professor]

Joe Root - 184*

[Arthur Crabtree]

There is no alternative.

[Durhamfootman]

none whatsoever

[The Professor]

In what is starting to look like an unhealthy obsession with young African boys, I am giving Cricketer of the Day to Uganda Under 19s' Kenneth Waiswa for his 39 plus 5-16 v Ghana Under 19s

[Arthur Crabtree]

Thought Broady might be in with a sniff.

[The Professor]

Truth be told I was more tempted by lads like Van Zyl or Bopara.

[The Professor]

Bit of a late one due to the late finish for the T20 blast game but Im giving it to Dane van Niekerk for 57 and 4-22 in South Africa Women's result over India Women

[Durhamfootman]

controversial decision, for me. Only bowls herself when her team is on top, disappears when her bowlers are being spanked... not the actions of a cricketer of the day, imo

I'd give it to Philander for scoring 50 with a knackered hand. He could barely keep hold of his bat yet kept hitting boundaries despite being in obvious pain.... and boy did his team need those runs

[Arthur Crabtree]

Good call on Big Vern's valorous effort (COTD or not).

[The Professor]

Colin Ingram helped himself to a century from 46 balls for Glamorgan against Sussex and then added 2 wickets for 27 runs.

[Gingerfinch]

Looks like Lewis of the West Indies had a good day. And Ali of course.

[The Professor]

Yeah I'd put their achievements in that order.

[Durhamfootman]

no Durham players in the mix?
