STBR Stats

Well, what a cracking game last week.
It doesn't matter that there's no stat-of-the-week suggestions, and that we've already been through all the email requests. Let's just reminisce about this most recent game, and see what interesting numbers come out of it...

In international cricket, there's always great excitement when someone reaches something-thousand test runs, or something-hundred wickets, plays their one hundredth test, or scores their 100th international century. And so on.

Here's a quick look at some upcoming milestones (both good and bad) for the Popped Collars players.

This week's question sprouted from an email conversation about last weeks stats. People were getting stuck into their batting partners about strike farming, and Gareth decided that it's perfectly fine to claim more of the strike, so long as you are scoring plenty of runs from those balls. He therefore wanted to know about players' strike rates.

So let's check out strike rates, along with a few other stats that are usually associated with regular (outdoor) cricket, but have less meaning when examining the indoor version.
