STBR Stats

Random fact: despite being published to the blog in December, this post (along with most others in the "re-read" series) was written a couple of months in advance. I did this so that I could fulfill the promise I made to the team of "a blog on each game-day for the rest of the year", and so that I'd have more time to work on something different for you.
But enough about that... let's continue with the blog re-cap (and some stats about Gareth's over of singles last week).

Last week's match against Thrill Killers was indeed a thriller, and contained several instances of balls having more than 7 runs scored off them. Or, in the case of the final ball of the match, almost having more than 7 runs scored off it. Today's very brief blog entry is about scoring more than 7 runs off a single ball.

I had intended to put both of today's games in one post. But it turns out this needed its own entry. Read on to find out why, and find out who will be the Popped Collars World Champion.

Julian Mellor and Andrew Pearson face off, looking to salvage 3rd place in the World Cup.

It's semi-final time!
Rian takes on Julian, and Xavier clashes with former player Andrew Pearson.

Read on to see the results...

Eight players remain in the Popped Collars World Cup. Number 3 seed, Jim Ragg, was the big casualty, finishing on the bottom of his pool. Gareth is the lowest seed (12) to advance, but he has to face his regular batting partner and the tournament favourite, Rian, in today's match.
Here are the quarter-final results..
