MORE CRICKET - Weekend semi-final teams
ONE of the greatest batting seasons in the history of the Bendigo District Cricket Association has helped propel Cameron Taylor to the top of the Addy's most valuable player rankings.
In what's a likely precursor to Taylor becoming the first player in BDCA history to win four Cricketer of the Year awards, Taylor finished a massive 585 points clear in the MVP rankings.
Using a system of one point per run, 20 points per wicket, 10 points per catch and 15 points per run out or stumping, Taylor racked up 1591 points for the home and away season.
Star all-rounder Taylor has had a phenomenal summer with the bat for Strathdale-Maristians, with the left-handed opener churning out 906 runs for the home and away season, including three scores of 150-plus - 154 v Strathfieldsaye, 161 v Bendigo United and 178 v White Hills.
The leg-spinner also claimed 31 wickets, took five catches and inflicted one run out as he topped the Addy's MVP rankings for a fifth time, having also done so in 2018-19, 2016-17, 2013-14 and 2011-12.
Apart from Taylor, the only other player to amass more than 1000 points was Bendigo all-rounder Kyle Humphrys with 1006.
The top five also featured White Hills' Rhys Irwin (962), Sandhurst skipper Taylor Beard (951) and Strathfieldsaye's Savith Priyan (910), who was the competition's leading wicket-taker with 35.
