Debuts, comebacks, and the low ceiling

And we're back for 2014. I'll just do a couple of quick stats today that I've had in the back of my mind over the first few games of the year.

200th Match

After an opposition forfeit two weeks ago, the Popped Collars next great milestone was delayed by a week. But, assuming we play tonight, we will be finishing off the year with the team's 200th game!!

Season 2013

Last post celebrated a special milestone, the 100th blog post. Next week, we will be celebrating another equally (or even more) great occasion - be sure to check it out.

In the meantime, let's fill in this week by going back to last season and checking out the stats. The season for "Summer 2013/14" has been underway for a while, but I'm yet to give the info from our premiership-winning season just gone. So that's what we'll do today.

100th Post! (and other meta-stats)

Today marks a grand milestone. I'm not talking about runs scored, wickets taken, or matches played... this, readers, is the 100th post published to the PoppedStats blog! To celebrate the occasion, today's stats are not going to be about performances on the indoor cricket court, but about the blog itself.

Wides, Wides and more Wides

Last week's match involved an over in which Sanjit may well have set a record. The over he bowler contained 7 wides (or leg-sides) out of 8 balls, including 6 in a row to start with. That over, however was just the beginning of a cracking run of wides; fill-in player Kish bowled the next over, and sent down 4 more wide deliveries, and Xavier's first ball in the over after that was also a wide, making 12 wides in the space of 17 consecutive balls. Let's check the record book...
