Rayleigh cc - Batting wagon wheels







Updated Aug 2022 see S. Harmonsworth
S.Harwood - Opening Batsman R/H

I'm writing this up 7 months later in the winter, so only have basic notes to work with. Bowled Joe Thompson (18) caught Sam Good. Joe Thompson Medium/Fast see here
Notes on Harwood- "No front foot defense, hardly moves his feet, slashes at the ball which appeared to be his main shot - top-edged Joe down to long off. No record of how many times he played and missed, but looking at Joe's bowling data and knowing how Joe bowled I'd have guessed a good few times.


M.Walker - R/H - No2 













M.Walker - This game I watched rather than played in, my son was the opening bowler. As I recall I was experimenting with different ways of recording the data and may have also been trying to video the action as well. Having seen both the openers playing and missing it wasn't until Harwood was dismissed that I started to record the play and misses. He struggled against my son Joe Thompson with Joe going for 6-2-9-1. It wasn't until Hayton came on that I got into that aspect of the analysis. From that analysis the initial impression is that he plays and misses against the slower bowlers Hayton and Debond, with his wicket being taken by Hayton on 46.

S.Gosling - R/H - No,3 Bat 

Very static - slashes at the ball outside of off, played a supporting role allowing the other players to take the strike. Bowled Debond (SLA) mixed with LA wrist-spin.
Owen Davies - R/H - No,4 Bat ______________________________


Played and missed against Chris Debond and willing to leave the ball outside of off. Doesn't move around the crease and looks susceptible to a good off-cutter. The balls on the on-side where hit off of a shorter length.

Bowled LBW A.Hayton who bowls R/A finger-spin varying length, speed and mixes arm balls with balls that break.





B.Walker - R/H - No,5 Bat ________________________________

_____________________________________________________________
J.Wright - R/H - No,6 Bat

J. Wright was the most destructive coming in at No.6. He seemed able to hit the ball pretty much where he wanted. Uses his feet well to both the fast and slow bowlers - of our bowlers he struggled the most against A.Hayton who bowls off-spin mixed with arm balls accurately, varying his speed and bowling generally a good full length. Despite all the positives on his part he was recorded as playing and missing against all of the bowlers - but especially A.Hayton.

S.Harmonsworth - R/H - Bat No.3



Bowled against this bloke today 2/8/22 Three years after the initial wagon wheel and he's three years older and considerably better I'd say. I was brought on to bowl early bowling against Sam batting at No.3 along with an aggressive big hitting No.2. Sam himself is an assertive and aggressive bat walking down the wicket to bowlers if the keeper is back, looks to hit the ball hard, no deft shots, don't recall any late cuts, just sees the ball and hits it hard. In 2022 if you look at his data on Playcricket he's scored 100 + in a first XI game.
The *blue lines on the updated wagon wheel are representative of his shots today. He played with a 59 off 52 balls not out; having retired and come back on at the end of the game. Strike rate of 113.
*Most of the data has been recalled from memory rather than notes made, but I reckon that's about right or thereabouts.

M.Patel - R/H - No,8 Bat

Richard Virrender - 6th XI                  Bat No.2
The following batsmen I have very little notes on and the wagon wheels are lacking in detail as the records were made using a different format. I've not made any notes on whether they're right or left handed, so if just guessed based on the wagon wheel records. What I do remember was that this was a close match that we lost and they were good bunch of blokes.
Richard Virrender batted at No.2 and was not out for 57 off of 104 balls. Predominantly a leg-side player from this first look... Pull-shots primarily, not always aggressive ones, sometimes a deft one just to steer the ball down to fine-leg for a single. The other shot was the on-drive to the position I was fielding at (7), but this was easily dealt with. The impression I've got was that he was far more susceptible to getting out playing shots on the off-side. Shots on the stumps on a threatening length he gets behind with a straight bat. Actively looking to make runs all the time - a busy player. His data on play cricket is pretty impressive... He's recorded as having played since 2005. In that time he's scored 651 x 4's, he's scored 50 on 40 occasions, 1 x 100. On average he's scored 15.73% of teams runs, one year he contributed 30% of the teams runs and averages 30.92% runs per game. Only had 9 ducks and gets out by being caught 32.71% of the time and gets bowled 35.51% of the time. Hardly ever has been stumped 0.47% of the time. A solid player.

Dan Athol No.6

Athol didn't hang around 29 runs off of 36 balls. Strike rate of 80.56. Match data here
Bowled LBW Rob Brooks (Off-spinner).























On the play cricket website his records suggest that he doesn't play all season (8 games over 2 years). Athol accounts for 4.73% of team runs (2019) and average 8.83. The data suggests that he's most likely to be either bowled or caught as both record around 28% of dismissals. Looks to be a potential candidate for a run-out as he's been dismissed that way 14% of the time. Get your fast younger players in the game if they're looking to run singles? Athol's play cricket batting data can be accessed by this link here

Sean Treweek No.8 























Not a lot on Treweek - from this first look primarily a leg-side player. His data goes back to 2016 and he's played primarily in this team. His contribution to the team batting is 6.99% (2019) and his highest score was 64 in 2018. Generally loses his wicket bowled or caught which accounts for 22% for each method. A fair number of not outs 29%, but that's down the fact that he bats at 8. Average 22. See his play cricket data here 
2019 saw him play 17 games, so he'll probably be a regular in 2020?

Jack Himpfen Jones No.4






















Himpfen Jones (All-rounder) bowled 2nd change in our match. Played for Rayleigh since 2007. Played 55 games at an average of 8.11. High score of 51 (Only 50 + score). Scores 4.13% of team runs. Gets out primarily being bowled 55% of the time and that's followed up with 30% being caught and 4% of the time stumped.

Jack Andrews No.3



























Jack Andrews; His records go back to 2015. He's played 29 games, scored 381 runs at an average of 15.24. An aggressive or accurate player with 48 fours to his name and 2 sixes. Scores 8.88% of team runs and has had 5 ducks in 29 games. Gets out bowled - 50% of the time, caught 21.43%, LBW 7.14% of the time and stumped 3.47% as of 2019.
