The North Devon Cricket League awards and roll of honour were recently posted to the NDL website. The awards ceremony is taking place this Friday in Barnstaple, but I don’t have any plans to attend.
If I may, I’d like to draw your attention to the Division 3 bowling award, which appears to have been awarded to Brent Howard from Sandford.
Division Three – Bowling – Brent Howard (Sandford) – 13.31
Brent had an excellent bowling average of 13.31 for the year.
However, before I could leave that alone, I had to look back through my notes for the year to see what my bowling figures looked like. I’ve never been able to bowl all that well, but I was really happy with how everything went this season, especially when I took 3 for 15 from 9 overs against North Devon, and I thought that my yearly figures would probably be interesting.
Overs bowled: 77.2
Wickets: 23
Runs: 270
Average: 11.74
Economy: 3.50
So yes, I’m a geek, but hmm, I have a better average than Brent.
Ah well, at least I know.
