BOWLING 1924-1937
These bowling statistics are compiled from the Nomads Averages published in the Cricketer Magazine. Missing is year 1935. Because varying limiting criteria were used each year many bowlers figures in some seasons are missed. In addition to 1935 we are missing years 1923, 24, 38 and 39. For the Batting figures click here. Some figures below reflect just one season’s bowling while others cover six seasons. No one appeared in all thirteen set of averages.
EG Maigraith took 55 and 72 wickets in seasons 1937 and 37. He was still playing in 1946 so presumably he must have taken another 100 wickets 1938 and 39. DG Hollebone who took 59 wickets in 1936 took an eightfer against Northwood in 1946 so presumably took a load before and after the war. LF Matthews appears in the 1912 Nomads averages as do the Caulfield brothers. Sidney Caulfield played in 1946 so must have been taking wickets most seasons even if he failed to make the averages. The Caulfield brothers allegedly played almost every match 1904-1914 so must have achieved very substantial figures overall.
