STBR Stats

The next in the eight-part re-living of classic times from the past. In case you're wondering, I'm not just doing this bunch of posts because I'm being lazy (although that is part of it too) - there is a couple of interesting things to come at the end of it all. I chose to cover everything in exactly 8 posts for a reason.
Today we look through posts from the second half of 2012, along with the first classic game in 2013.

Tonight, it appears the Popped Collars will be down a few players. Possibly playing with only 6. The captain is confident we can do well. What do the stats think?

There has been some kind of technical difficulties. With this weeks article 90% written, the "edit post" webpage somehow deleted the whole thing. And because it auto-saves, I couldn't get it back! So here is a quickly re-written abbreviated version of this week's stats...

With 2 consecutive weeks with no game for the Popped Collars, we all need something to fill the indoor cricket void. So here we go, with 7 short posts - 1 per day for the next week, leading up to our next game (presumably) next Tuesday night.

Today's Stat of the Day, as requested by Brad, is to look at the team's results based on how many players we have.

Eight players is a full team, and most of the time we have had that many. Although it does often feel that we have a disproportionately good record when we are missing players - which should be a disadvantage.
Here's what the stats tell us:

The question of the week this week, was very simple. Gareth began by asking which bowlers had taken the most wickets for our team, and was disappointed to learn that Xavier and Brad led the way, simply because they have played the most games.

And so the question was refined: Which bowler has the most wickets per over?
