Popped Collars Version 4.0

Tonight, the Popped Collars return to where they began. After playing at Lyneham, and now Kaleen, we now prepare to return to the Weston Indoor Sports centre.

Not many wickets

In our most recent match, we had what can only be described as "a shocker" in the field. Catches went down all over the place, run-outs were missed, balls were fumbled. The result of this was we took only two wickets in the entire innings (also we lost the game). Both of those wickets came in the final over the match - for much of the game it looked like we would not take a wicket at all!

I've written about similar things here before, but since it is topical, here's an updated look at the stats of wickets lost by a team.

I can't be bothered finding the past posts about it... but perhaps you'd like to look yourself using the new "Labels and Topics" section on the right of the page. Use it to browse through all the old posts by topic!

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.
