STBR Stats

I think it's time I abandoned my attempt at summarising 2010 (it was going to be pretty boring anyway) and instead bring you a series of posts about how Popped Collars batters keep on breaking each others records. Here we go again...
It's not uncommon in cricket to see records set, and then quickly re-set by someone else. Note some of my favourite examples:

We interrupt the collection of "2010 summary" posts to bring you this breaking news... Last night saw Popped Collars annihilate Take That and set all manner of batting records along the way.

Take That were sent into bat by Brad who pondered the best way to counter the usual all-out attacking style of the opposition batters. Judicious choice of bowlers and some solid fielding (including a collection of good catches from Chris) saw the Collars succeed. Not only at restricting the dangerous batters, but also knocking off the weaker pairs at the end. Take That made just 57.

Ladies and Gentlemen, we are back.

With the matches about to get underway for the new year, it is obviously time to look back at the performances of 2010. This will be a short series of posts looking at whatever topics I feel like looking at regarding the matches of 2010. We begin today with a general look at numbers of matches for the team and the players.

Last night saw the return of Pearson to the Popped Collars line-up. It also saw the return of our old mate Rob, who hasn't set foot on an indoor court for many years now. But because we love him so much, today's post is all about Pearson. He started his innings last night with 3 sevens in the first 2 overs, and from the sideline, we urged him to "Go for the record!".

So he did. And he got out a lot attempting it. And so the question arose... who has the lowest score while hitting the most sevens.

The new season is off to a good start in that Popped Collars have racked up 3 wins from 3 games, including a great batting performance last night to knock off last season's premiers, DILLIGAFS. But it probably shouldn't have taken such a batting performance to get there. With the ball, PC racked up all sorts of records in the category of bowling extras.

This is the second last season wrap-up post. After yesterday looking at season totals, today I'll be going through the averages - and also having a look at how people's performances have changed from season one to season two.

And now it's time to look at the statistical totals for the season as a whole. Most runs, most wickets, and all that jazz.
