STBR Stats

First things first - I'm moving house this week, and so the cricket scorecards are all packed away, and so I'm still using stats that are a few weeks behind. But that's fine.

This week's question comes from someone on the team. I don't remember who, and it took me a long time to remember what it was. The question was this:

Who has been out the most times while still mangaging to make a positive score?

We all know that rage is a big part of life among the Popped Collars players. Captain Brad leads from the front in the raging stakes - the most famous being the time he played it safe on the final ball of a skin by leaving the ball alone, only to be given out LBW, and lose the skin.

While there are no stats kept on actual rage levels reached by players during the game, we can assume that - when batting - the rage builds in any player after they lose a wicket. So in this - the first of 5 mini-blogs for the week - I will look at which batsmen perform the best on the ball after they lose a wicket.

An ongoing joke among the Popped Collars chaps is to challenge each other to “Go for the 9!” - which is to go out to bat and attempt to get out via all 9 different types of wicket that exist in Indoor Cricket. The 9 ways are: bowled, caught, stumped, run-out, LBW, third-ball, hit-wicket, interference, mankad.
There are 4 types that are far-and-away the most common wicket types: caught, run-out, bowled and stumped. The other 5 are rarities.
No one has yet seriously attempted the feat, but today's question-of-the-week arose from the idea of seeing who has gone the closest...

Who has been out in the most different ways in a single innings?
