You better tell us about that LM....

[Lightning McQueen]

Me too!

I made 86* in a one day game in my last season of cricket (2005/06 against Berri), it was the highest score I'd made since being with my missus (we've been together since 1993).

I blame her for my cricket career falling by the way side!

They have a habit of that don't they, mine ruined my career by scoring a ton before me

Was that her putting them onto the Scout Hall roof at SAlisbury West No. 2 ?

Quite possibly, I don't watch much anymore, it's depressing, I stay home most times with our youngest lad, her ton was against Gawler Central, retired at 30, went back in for the last wicket and piled on 70 in about 6 overs, can hit a ball well for someone under 45kg.

Hey norm, now you know who I am, did you play in that 1 dayer at our ground that went down to the wire around.

[Lightning McQueen]

around 2002 I was trying to say, maybe 03.

It must have been 3, you guys went up at the end the end of that year

Sorry, I reckon you went up the following year, it was div 3 though, did you only play out there when they got to div 2.

Went back to two wells when they went up to div 2

We'll have to catch up some time, we'll invite Rollsy

Some very honourable mentions for PDCA not previously mentioned
Tony Richards A grade 1547 runs @ 36.83 4 100's 103 wickets @ 13.66 (missing some stats too)
Danny Leverentz A's 2670 @ 34.67 61 wickets at 16.21 48 catches 4 stumpings.
Both played at Salisbury West so Ace might be able to provide via the roller.
Steve Holding over 10,000 runs
Nathan Petrus 3282 runs @ 41.54 6 100's 143 wickets @ 17.69

[Rolls Royce]

Tony is very highly rated at Salisbury West.....as was Danny.

I was going to mention Danny's name when I was putting my list together, I never played against him but heard good wraps. 41.54 for Nathan Petrus, that's a fair average, anything over 30 is great going in PDCA. Whats the great Jamie Sibbick's stats?
How many games has Steve Holding played?

[Lightning McQueen]

Mark Bishop's batting record at Smithfield.

M: 46
Inn: 51
N.O: 7
Runs: 2037
50: 13
100: 4
H.S: 115
Ave: 46.3

I reckon stats can be misleading at times. 2 examples from Salisbury West are Robbie Drake and Adam Ozolins.
Both played Grade 1 at 14 year of age (Ozzie broke Drakeys record as youngest to play A's for Salisbury West)

If you are playing Grade 1 at 14, realistically you are not going to contribute for at least 3-4 years. So both these guys would've done nothing for at least 30 games. Imagine their averages if they started playing at 18 instead of 14 and not have those years finding their feet. I reckon Oz would be near 50 and Drakeys wickets per game would be even more incredible.

Thoughts ?

Agreed, but I suppose that's where you can break it down year by year. That's why I think anything above 30 is excellent, take into account how many times people get out in 1 dayers trying to push runs along, we don't have 5 day games where you can just plod along, even our 2 dayers aren't that much longer than a one-day international.

Games played are an important stat anyway, we actually have two sets of stats, A Grade only & combined, it highlights those who like to be champions in the lower grades compared to those who are willing to put there hand up and play where they are most needed.

Grigs is working on an A Grade only record book also....just counting A grade games. Thats a good idea.

I'll dig up some more stats tonight....any requests ? We have partnership records too.
