Looking Back at 2011 (No.10) - Adi Manger

2nd XI Captain Adrian Manger shares his memories of the 2011 season.  Adi used his vast experience to guide the 2nd XI to yet another promotion.  His personal contribution to the team's success can be see here.
Most Memorable Cricketing Moment in 2011 (Personal)?
Getting the big decisions right. Timing of declaration away at Banbury XX and batting first at Cublington. Helped of course by full support from the team!
Most Memorable Cricketing Moment in 2011 (Team/Club)? The bar staff at The Unicorn, Cublington;remarked on by all! - and topped off a great day over there getting the better of the champions for the second time.
Worst Cricketing Moment in 2011? Being denied the 2nd XI championship by only two points after such a great squad effort
Best & Worst Away Grounds visited in 2011? Best : Cublington - see 3. above
Worst :  Brackley - missed the trip but heard enough about it
Toughest Opposition Player Faced in 2011?Alistair Thomas (Thame 2's)
Most Improved HCC Player in 2011?
Three-way tie - Ben Henderson, Jack Biggs and Matt O'Connor
Best Umpire in 2011? Our 3rd XI umpire at Bourton Vale - unfortunately don't recall his name.
Sum up the 2011 season in one sentence? My 1st trophyless season since 1996, but back to try harder next year

Let us have your thoughts on the 2011 Season -Here
