Bowlers Union: Brookweald cc - Batting wagon wheels

This was another of those games where you turn up and you ask the opposition something like - "What's your batting order"? the response you get is bunch of blokes who scoff at the idea that they have any batsmen inferring that they can't bat and then this happens...

No1. Hallahan_________________________________________________________________

This bloke did say at the end having scored 211, this had been his first century and that his previous high score had been 80 something. He eventually fell having been stumped off of John 'Moondog' Bedford's off-breaks.

Initially he wasn't able to get going against my son Joe Thompson (Opener) and he said at the end "Yeah the opener was good - really good - best I've come up against all this season". Joe was hit for a few 4's through trying variations. If he'd stuck to his usual line and length he'd have gone for very few runs. Of all our bowlers it was Chris Debond's that he liked the best (The blue lines on the wagon-wheel).

If you look at the wagon-wheel you can see the majority of the runs especially the 6's and 4's were all scored through the on-side. All the 4's against Joe in his first spell were balls that were on the off-stump or wider, similarly Sam Good's bowling was commended by the same batsman as all of his balls on or around the off-stump caused him problems. It was only when he strayed straighter or leg-side that the 4's came.
