Disgraceful

Apparently we were a week early with the use of the word "disgraceful"... here's the stats and records from the most recent game. Warning... this post contains graphic stats which some players may find disturbing. Please refrain from reading further if you do not wish to be reminded of this particular match.
So here we go, a string of tables showing various records that were set (or almost set) during that match. There are undoubtedly more, but what's here is enough sadness for one blog.

*the top one there is actually GG rather than Popped Collars.


And finally...
On an unrelated matter, but still in the category of "disgraceful", it seems we have been robbed by an umpire's arithmetic error!

Do you remember the game from about a month ago which came down the the final over...? Xavier bowled the final over of the match, Trompf dropped a catch early in the over, and from there the batters just got in behind every ball and defended, desperately avoided wickets.

Well, it seems that the umpire in that game robbed us of 5 runs by making an error in adding up the scores. Rather than the opposition being 3 runs in front with 2 balls remaining, they should have been 2 runs behind and been forced to continue trying to score! It could have made that final over significantly different.

Normally when such an error is made, I just leave everything as it is supposed to be and it has no effect on anything. On this occasion, I was forced to give Andrew a 5 run penalty for "umpire error" so that the "correct" result shows in my stats. Don't worry, penalties don't go to your individual stats...
