• Sol Tomlinson – 150 @ 9.9 (best all time bowling average for all Grades in our history)
• James Makin – 367 wickets @ 18.1 (part time these days)
• Gav Taylor 21 wickets and Ranga Ediriwickrama 34 wickets.
This is a total of 1,467 career wickets! Looked at another way, since 2011/12 the boys have played 77 games and only 4 Teams have scored 200 or more against this attack with the highest being 224 on a road and against a depleted attack – an average of just 5% of games against this awesome side.
Record milestone
Club legend, Steve Quanborough (C4) brought up his 150th career wicket in style on 27th February 2016 (Round 14 Vs Berowra) – a fantastic achievement. The ball didn’t come out of the hand with his usual flight in fact the opposite – it yorked the batsman on the 2nd bounce and hit middle stump. What makes this interesting is that this is the first ‘bowled’ Steve has taken in about 9 years with many of the Team still in Primary School when Steve last got a wicket bowled.
A long time between overs
Peter Lees (C3) is one of our top batsmen with over 4,000 runs to his credit but bowling is not one of his more recent achievements. In fact since 1998/99 he has bowled just 6 overs until this week. Playing in the John Hayne Cup a bowler is limited to taking 3 wickets and then needs to be replaced. In the first T20 Buzz Burrows got 3 wickets in the over and had one ball to bowl so enter Peter to kick-start his bowling career. Then the 2nd game and this time Narendra Kulkarni took 3 wickets in the over and Peter again bowled the single ball to finish the over.
