2017 End of Season Stats

35 matches were played (also 35 in 2016),
Won 12 (12).
Lost 18 (13),
Drawn 3 (6),
Abandoned 2 (4).

A further 5 were lost to the weather and 3 cancelled because of player non-availability (Hogs 1, Opposition 2).

Hogs won the toss on 24 occasions (almost 70% success rate with the coin) and batted 13 times. It didn't help all that much as we only won 11 matches (and once when asked to field).

Let's drip feed a few stats for 2017, batting first:

Qualifying with 4 complete innings:
Harry Came 357 runs (average 59.5, highest 115*);
Jonathan Grant 268 runs (53.6,151*);
Oliver Kelly 433 runs (39.36, 82).

Highest non-qualifying centurions:
Harry Foyle 186,
Matthew Love 158,
Hogget Harry Fisher 120,
Rob Shipster 101* (also a maiden Hogs century and in his Hogs debut.

Best partnerships:
Matthew Love and Harry Came 242* for the 2nd wicket versus Grannies
Oliver Kelly and Alex Halliday 219* for the 4th wicket versus Incogniti

Bowling next:
Harry Came - 19 wickets at 14.05, best 5-9
Tim Durston - 24 wickets at 15.63, best 4-81

Behind the sticks
Paul Bailey claimed 8 victims (5 caught, 3 stumped).

Career batting:
Oliver Kelly has reached 9501 runs in pursuit of Peter Came who still has a Hogs best of 10760.

Watch out for a resurgent Jonathan Grant on 8340!

Alex Halliday and Nick Fraser are now 23rd and 24th in the all time scoring list.

Joining the successful batsmen in recent seasons is Henry Wakefield with 1798 runs and Harry Came on 884.

Career Bowling:
It would take a miracle to reach the Gette's 1405 wickets. Oliver Kelly now has 333 victims with Mark Low on 241. Dick Aldridge is still stuck on 198, but wasn't it great to see him turning out against after his bought of ill health.
