New Season Update courtesy of Daniel Baker 10.03.11
The new season has drifted in like a pair of soiled pants blown across a Cornish beach. It’s one each in the BCL and two - nil to Steadman in the 18-18. All games have been competitive so far and the season looks like being an interesting one. I was pleased to score my fifth 100 in a single innings (to catch up with Adam’s record) and Adam set a record for the highest score in a 18-18 match (44 runs at Sennen) in a tight match won by 2 runs. The dream 18-18 score of 50+ is looking increasingly obtainable. All three players will be keen to be the first man to score over 50 and earn a place in the history books.
You’ll notice that Tom is 2nd in the 18-18 – I think we only applied the 30% ruling to BCL and not 18-18 (please correct me if I’m wrong).
New additions
A couple of new additions to the stats this year for the 18-18 game. We will be able to monitor performance of batsmen and bowlers in greater detail with strike-rate performance (for bowlers and batsmen) and economy (for bowlers) all being available for scrutiny. This is possible by recording the number of deliveries faced by a batsmen (something which we obviously keep track of anyway in the limited overs game). So it won’t be too taxing to jot down number of balls faced (and who bowled them).
To help us, there is a newly designed 18-18 scoresheet (see page 2 of the attached scoresheet) which will remind us of what information to record. I’ve also taken the opportunity to design a new scoresheet for the BCL matches (page 1 of the attachment). This will avoid us using the back of Steadman’s confidential bank statements to record scores and help make sure we record things fully. Print it off double sided and you’ve got your BCL on one side and 18-18 on the other. There is also a plan for a laminated version which will allow us to use a crayon to record scores in drizzly conditions without the paper turning to mush (remember Sennen in the rain when Pie should have won?)
Let me know your thoughts or any additions you might have for us to incorporate.
Yours,
BCL Admin Assistant
