Glenn Phillips started his Twenty20 career by fulfilling his much touted talent when taking out the CricHQ MVP for the McDonalds Super Smash, in what was his debut season for the Aces.
 
The expressive right hand opening bat is typical of the millennial player who have grown up when reverse sweeps, switch hits and cover drives for six are about ‘execution’ – not a brain fade. 

Andrew Ellis is an effective domestic player but this year he shines above all others and commanded the top spot on this year’s Fujitsu Heat Pumps MVP table. The experienced Cantabrian confirms his status as a leading domestic player by adding the coveted domestic Fujitsu Heat Pumps MVP title to a long list of career achievements.  

Ellis all-rounder role within the Canterbury team means he is always in the game and this season he delivered consistently with over 1000 runs and 50 wickets across all competitions. 

The February winner of the Fujitsu Heat Pumps MVP Performance of the Month is 
Justin Turnbull from North City Cricket Club in Wellington. 

Turnbull was representing NCCC's 3rd XI Men's team when he produced the leading MVP performance of the month, and wins a brand new Kookaburra cricket bat courtesy of Fujitsu Heat Pumps.  

Turnbull completely dominated with the ball over the two innings match with a bag of 5 wickets in each innings. 

There are no surprises about the two players atop the international Most Valuable Player rankings this year, although it may trip up many a punter to select Kane Williamson ahead of Brendon McCullum. But that is exactly how it stands.

McCullum has been remarkable with a well-documented record breaking double century against Pakistan and an agonisingly close 195 in Test cricket’s return to Christchurch during this year’s MVP season (starting with the tour to the West Indies). 

Grafton United Cricket Club first team member Alan Burton is the winner of November's Fujitsu Heat Pumps MVP - performance of the month.

Ronnie Hira has been in scintillating form for the Canterbury Kings during the Twenty20 campaign and is the deserved winner of the Fujitsu Heat Pumps MVP award for the competition. 

Tasked with opening the innings Hira showed he has more to his game than his miserly left arm orthodox skills, finishing the Georgie Pie Super Smash 6th highest run scorer with 273 at 30.33 and the impressive strike rate of 151.67.
