Most wickets with a positive score

Stat Of The Week, as requested by Rian. Most wickets lost by a batsman in an innings, while still making a positive score.

While the stats database is not completely up to date, I can give the answer to the question based on what I've got entered at the moment.

Rian claims that his 7 wickets lost tonight, while making a total score of 6, is close to the record. (He also claims that he actually got out 8 times, but I know he didn't... because I've got it on video!)


It turns out that his feat of 7 wickets and a positive score is in fact the best ever. I currently have 9 other recorded occurrences of someone being out 7 times, with the next best score being -2.

There are a bunch of 6-wicket positive scores, with Brad being the only Popped Collars player to pull it off; and he's done it twice.

Although - from back in the days of the Jackpot Ball at Weston, we also find a collection of Popped Collars batters who lost 5 wickets, including one on the Jackpot Ball - essentially becoming 6 wickets. In the table below, entries marked with * indicate one of the wickets fell on the double-score ball.

But none match Rian's 7 for 6 tonight...

Name	Wickets Lost	Total Score
Rian	7	6
Brad	6	6
Brad	6	3
Julian	5*	9
Rian	5*	8
Julian	5*	3
Gareth	5*	2
