STBR Stats

Today we continue (and conclude) the write-up of our performance over the incredibly long season that recently finished. Last post discussed the team's overall performance and looked at individual batting stats - today we do the bowling stats and player contributions.

Last week's match was a comfortable win for the Popped Collars. The team posted a moderate total of 101 but defended it with little trouble, thanks mainly to Gareth producing supreme bowling figures of 7/-25. After the game, Trompf noted that Gareth's contribution of +44 was significantly more than the team's winning margin of 25. Hence the topic of today's blog.

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. In fact, records tumbled, primarily during the final pair. The 'disgraceful' was originally a reference to the lack of blog posts recently - and given the existence of this one, even that can no longer have the word applied to it.

Team Results

It's semi-final week, and time to inspire the troops to perform well. Here are a few quick stats to get you fired up for tonight's big game.

Last week, Popped Collars won a thrilling game, getting home by just 2 runs after Gareth safely wafted at the final ball wide outside the off stump, while Rian invoked Gandhi at the other end. When the stats were compiled, it turned out that only 2 players from the winning team made positive contributions - and one of them was only +1. With that introduction, I'll leave you to deduce the obvious topic of this post.

And we're back for 2014. I'll just do a couple of quick stats today that I've had in the back of my mind over the first few games of the year.

I spent this week struggling to remember any unanswered stat questions, and being unable to come up with anything new and exciting. Eventually I finally realised that I haven't yet compiled last season's overall performances. So without any further ado: player performances from our first season at a new location.
