Having matched the performance of the 1st XI of 1997, questions have been raised about the relative merits of the two sides...
Derived from Hugh K's stats, here is the core side that represented the club in the 1997 season (number of appearances in brackets-15 matches in total):
Bates (15)
Barker (13)
Bradley (15)
Willey (5)/ Begg (4) / Wheatley (5)
Ellis (6)/ E. C. Smith (5)/ Afzaal (5)
Russell (11)
Robertson (c/ wkt) (11)
Dyer (15)
Worsnop (8)
Fisher (10)
McGill (15)
How does this line up compare with that fielded on the last Saturday of the season (and also not forgetting Two Dogs). 4 players (plus Bates-one 1st team league appearance in 2011) feature in both...but are they the same players...
Mazher
Fraser
Ellis
C. A. Smith
E.C. Smith
Bonfield
Russell
Pickering
Trewartha/ Worsnop
Bainbridge
Lynch
feel free to comment...especially keen to hear the Pres' views.

Trying to compare crossers through the years is like trying to compare stars in the night sky.
ReplyDeleteAll I'll add is that Bates prob should be in the 2011 team as well. The prospect of Bates and Mazar batting together has me giddy with excitement!
Other than that it would look like a shoot out between McGill and Gary for a bowling spot!
Obviously I have myself batting 5 and bowling from the Castle end!
