Strollers Cricket Club
2016 STATISTICS AND ANALYSIS

Key Facts and Figures
Simon Holliday remains statistically the best cricketer but the worst human being in the Strollers. He has the most runs, highest batting average, most wickets,
lowest bowling average, highest vandalism rate, and best economy rate. Only former Stroller Tom Fletcher and Simon Young beat him in any measure of
cricketing ability (bowling strike rate), and only Doug McAndrew and Austen Hunter are worse than him in any personality traits (behaviour at annual dinner)
Luke Fletcher talks about bowling strike rate more than any other cricketer in the UK. However, he does have just cause. He has the leading strike rate of any
bowler over the last 5 years (1 wicket every 12 balls). 73% of these wickets came from catches in the deep.
Simon Young is statistically the Strollers premier spin bowler*. He has the lowest average (11.45), best economy rate (4.40) and best strike rate (15.6) of all front
line spinners*. Jonathan Allen is the second in the list.
Grant Lowden remains statistically the worst Strollers bowler over the past 5 seasons, with an average of 96.5 and a strike rate of 123. In all games for the Strollers
he has just 4 wickets at an average of 66. In 2015 he bowled the most expensive over by any Stroller in history (24). However, he is the best strolling singer.
Paddy McGuirk is arguably the worst of all the Strollers bowlers with 10 wickets or more – he has the highest average (24.70) and the worst economy rate (6.26).
Self Proclaimed premier strike bowler, Rick Bristow, has the worst strike rate of any bowler with 10 wickets or more.
Jonathan Allen has the best win-loss ratio of any stroller. The strollers have won 68% of games he has played in, and lost just 20%. However, he has only
contributed runs or wickets in 28% of the games he’s played in. At the opposite end of the scale is Grant Lowden. Strollers have lost 63.6% of games in which he
has played.
Doug McAndrew surged ahead in the list of players with the most stumpings with 2 in 2016 to take him to 5 in total. His record of a stumping every 9 games is
better than wicket keeping greats such as Rodney Marsh (1 in 15), Mark Boucher (1 in 12), Matt Prior (1 in 11) and Alec Stewart (1 in 10). However, those keepers
did not keep to a team which consisted entirely of slow bowlers.
Luke Fletcher has the lowest average player rating of any stroller (1.3)
*Spinner defined as a bowler who bowls slowly (or at least doesn’t try to bowl fast), has bowled slowly his whole career and is not Simon Holliday. A spinner does not
have to spin the ball
