Club Stats June 2022

A note from statto 

This is the first stats update I've tried to do this in this format, so it is a bit of experiment, but hopefully it will be the first of several. I know the play cricket site gives averages etc, but for a few reasons (most of them fairly tragic) it feels like some of the most interesting stuff is found beyond that. 

All figures are as at 14/06/22. 

Feedback is welcome and any requests for future stattery are even more welcome 

Cheers Statto

(I'm aware a couple of evening games are missing from the records if you send me a picture of the scorebook for that game I'll add it) 

The 2022 season (so far) in review 

The start of the 2022 has been our best start to a season since the formation of the club. Filled with excellent individual and team performances. At the time of writing both league teams sit second in their division, lets hope this fantastic start continues. 

Welcome to Joe Spurrell, Mark Edgehill, Ryan Harris-Cotton and Luke Miller who have all made their debuts this season and welcome back to Hunty and Darryl. 

Congratulations 

 Quite a few landmarks have been reached already this season including the following: 

• Becca became the first bowler to take 100 wickets for the club in all cricket and Nalin became the second Martin (95) and Tommy D (98) aren't far away 
• Hughesy passed 50 wickets for the club 
• Nalin became our first player to play 100 games, Tom Dowle became the 2nd on saturday 
• Finn took his first 5 wicket haul for the club 
• Olly Brealy & Dave Church both passed 50 for the first time for the club 
• Steve passed 1000 league runs, he is the 5th batter to do so for the club 
• Olly Brealy and Andy Cork took their 50th league wickets for the club
• The second team have now scored more than 10,000 runs aggregate

Results so far

The excellent start to the season is reflected in the results so far. Just look at how few runs the league teams have conceded! 

Seasons results as at 14/06

Lowest scores faced

The truly remarkable thing about recent weeks is how often we've bowled sides out cheaply. 

In league cricket since our formation in our first 141 games we bowled sides out for less than 80 (i.e. for a single batting point) just 4 times and 2 of those were against sides with only 9 players. 

In the next 4 league matches we did it 4 times. The 45 Chagford made was our lowest score conceded against a full 11. 

In those 4 games we effectively recorded a score against of 259-40 - just 6.475 runs per wicket. What a couple of weeks that was.

4 wicket hauls

Finn's astounding 6-6 at Chagford was the just 10th 5 (or more) wicket haul for the club. 

There have been 37 4 wicket hauls in the clubs history. Six of which have been in the first part of this season. 

Showing how the sport really is a batters game - at time of writing there have been 87 scores of 50 or more. 

The table below shows those serially avoiding buying a jug for bowling.

2022 Season Honours board (batting)

Already this season 9 batters have scored 13 fifty's (10 of which were league games), including George's 100 which made him the first person to record a second century for the club.

2022 Season Honours board (bowling)

The bowlers have chipped in as well with 7 four (or more) wicket hauls and above taken by 5 different bowlers. Becca has already taken 3 different 4 wicket hauls this season. 

Finn's absurd 6-6 at Chagford is the only five wicket haul and will take some beating as the season's best bowling figures.

Season Chart

And finally my way of trying to understand and visualise who has scored most runs and taken most wickets, this is what I have called the 'Season Chart'. Its still early days this season but we can already see the batters, bowlers and all rounders starting to cluster. 

NB: to help the labeling only names of players who have taken 5 or more wickets and/or scored 70 or more runs so far this season are shown
