STBR Stats

Last week's game was an absolute thriller, with Rian's bowling, and a top bit of fielding by Brad on the back net on the last ball, saving the game for the Popped Collars on the last 3 balls. However, after the game, Gareth was all about his own personal performance... for the poor quality, rather than the good, that his stats showed. He scored -15 with the bat, and went for 41 runs from his two overs bowled, for a contribution of -56. Thus he asked the question:

What is the lowest contribution by a player on a winning team?

....and we're back.

My stats database is up-to-date with all Popped Collars games (I have grand plans to eventually go back and put in what scorecards I have from pre-Popped Collars days, as well as the full set of GG six-a-side matches from a few seasons ago). I promise nothing much at the moment, other than to keep the Popped Collars scorecards up to date, and to a weekly "Stat of the Week" (SotW) post.

So let's get underway...

Last night, in our poorly batting performance again Tuff Stuff, with the result of the game already beyond doubt, Rian and Gareth went in at the end and just had a dig. As is often the case, there were many big hits - but also many wickets.

At one point, the pair went through 10 balls, containing 3 sevens and 4 wickets, prompting Andy to pose this week's question:

"What is the most sevens a pair has hit, and still ended up with a negative score?"

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?
