Disgraceful

Tuesday 19 May 2015 -- 2:00pm

Apparently we were a week early with the use of the word "disgraceful"... here's the stats and records from the most recent game. Warning... this post contains graphic stats which some players may find disturbing. Please refrain from reading further if you do not wish to be reminded of this particular match.
So here we go, a string of tables showing various records that were set (or almost set) during that match. There are undoubtedly more, but what's here is enough sadness for one blog.

(Not) Disgraceful

Tuesday 5 May 2015 -- 2:00pm

Last week's "word of the night" was supposed to be 'disgraceful', but after completing a 130 run demolition of It's On Like Donkey Kong there was not much disgrace going around.

Graphs - bowling

Tuesday 24 March 2015 -- 3:00pm

See the introduction to last week's post... except this time the graphs are for bowling figures.
For consistency, I'm only counting bowling figures for the first 2 overs bowled each match - that is, I've ignored all overs bowled as a "sub" when the team was short of players. Again, includes both Popped Collars and GG matches.

Here they are, as requested: graphs of players' batting performances over their career. They're pretty simple, no additional information such as running average, and not even any labels on the horizontal (time) axis. The graphs include both Popped Collars and GG games.

A most unlikely victory

Tuesday 10 March 2015 -- 2:27pm

Last match for the Popped Collars was another one of those that will surely go down as a classic!
From a position that was seemingly hopeless, the Collars somehow managed to work back into the game against Kerwin's Mob, and pull off one of the great indoor cricket victories!

Stats Quiz (batting edition)

Tuesday 10 February 2015 -- 8:00pm

While we play a double-header tonight, if everyone is are getting bored (i.e. "sick of this stupid game"), here's a few Popped Collars stats-related questions. Discuss, suggest some answers, and see who knows (i.e. can guess) the most about our team, and our matches.

My guesses (made before I looked up the answers) are below the questions.
