Winner: Bhupinder Singh
Judges Comment:
After a few years of dominance on the club scene, Bhupinder got his chance for The Aces in the 2009-2010 series, which he took with both hands.
He made fleeting appearances in the one-day competition to grab seven wickets but really made his presence felt in the four-day competition, in which he bagged 17 wickets to make him the Aces’ second highest wicket-taker.
In the Plunket Shield Match this year, The Aces won the match by an innings and 34 runs thanks, to Bhupinder’s career best figures at Colin Maiden Park in Auckland. He took six for 50, off 34 demanding overs, as the Otago team was dismissed for 250 in their second innings, resuming the fourth and final day at 79 for one, still 205 runs short of forcing the hosts to pad up a second time.
