Summary of Playing Statistics

Riyas was once again the best bowler (qualification: 12 overs) based on overall rank for average, strike-rate and economy.  By this measure, Nick Turner is second, Francis third and Jim Shanahan fourth.  Nick once again bowled the most overs (52), 2 balls more than James Leach.

Woody is the statistician’s best-bat nominee (qualification: 3 innings) with an average of 122.5; Nick Hill is second best on 82.5, and Francis third on 57.

Most catches were once again taken Scooby Williams (7) with Rob Palmer second on 5.   Paul Vaughan made the only stumping.

Richie Leach played 11 of the 13 matches played, with James next best on 10 followed by Nick Turner and Woody on 9.

14 of us were members this year, mostly by paying a subscription: Alan Kilford, Andy Chapman, Andy Heard, Chris Grogan, Cormac Neeson, David Hartley, Jim Shanahan, Jon Steward, Lyn Williams, Mike Butt, Nick Turner, Peter Kemp, Richie Leach and Rob Palmer.
