I'm a bit sorry this is a day later than I would've liked. It's really difficult going through 64 matches searching for Coach's Wickets & Player Mic Wickets when you've only been keeping track for the second half of the season. Even so, I've been through 26 of the 64 matches & found 39 wickets, with at least 17 during interviews with the coach. Without further delay, here are my awards:

Supreme Awards

Batting Awards

Bowling Awards

¹for highest Dot Ball Percentage

Note: the Men's Most Economical, Best Average & Dot-Meister Awards would all have gone to Matt Henry, but he only bowled 19 overs, thus not qualifying for the cutoff. As it is, on the women's side Rosemary Mair barely made the 20 over minimum for consideration.

Fielding Awards

²From those with clips available online, in my case I generally look through Instagram.

Overseas Player Awards

Super Smash All-Star Squads

Best Crowd Catch: This one from the Brave vs Firebirds

2024-5 Super Smash Season Honours Board

• Katene Clarke scored the 31st century in the history of NZ men's domestic T20 history & becomes the 27th centurion
• Eden Carson joined Amelia Kerr in becoming only the 2nd player in NZ women's domestic T20 history to take a 2nd 5-wicket haul. Funnily enough, she equalled her previous best, against the same opposition a little over 5 years ago
• Sophie Devine became only the 7th player to take a 5 wicket haul in NZ women's domestic T20 history. Her 5/13 is the equal 3rd best alongside Amelia Kerr's 5/13 vs the Hinds last year
• Henry Shipley, James Hartshorn & Matt Henry become the 20th, 21st & 22nd players to take a 5 wicket haul in NZ men's domestic T20 history

And that's all for the awards for another season! Thank you & following along this season, I really appreciate it.

Live and upcoming match threads | Reddit-stream

This is a daily thread for general cricketing discussion/conversation about all topics that don't need to be posted in their own thread.

This provides a space for things like general team changes/opinions/conversation and other frequently-asked questions or commonly-posted subjects.

Thanks to everyone who nominated and voted in this year's awards. You can find the results below. Congratulations to the winners!

Contest mode will be turned off in the next few minutes on all the voting threads so you can go have a look at the scores now through the links in the voting post.

Also a quick note that this year, like last year, there were a couple of awards where the vote scores were so close it's pretty much a tie. Reddit fudges the exact score on comments by a couple points every time the page loads, to confuse bots or something. Where the scores were only a point apart I've called it a tie.
