Batting & Bowling 1967-1983

We possess and have mostly published averages from 1967 to 1983 with one missing 1969. In the past averages were published in varying simplified ways sometimes giving only completed innings and also no overs. Sometimes a large number of players are consigned to oblivion because they did not qualify-too few runs scored, too few wickets taken and even too few games played. As a result some people who failed these criteria in certain seasons will be missing some runs and wickets. Over the years several of the published figures are missing scorecards and, in particular, 1981 and 1982 there are quite a few missing again depriving some players of runs and wickets. For instance we are missing the scorecards for both the Paris and Suffolk tours in 1981.

If perchance you are one of those cricketers who keeps a record year by year do let us know as we will then amend your figures published here.

*Missing 1969
+Missing 1983
“ Missing some of 1981 & 82.
& These players played on beyond 1983, Whiteway until 1997,Blumberg bowled until 2010 and Croom-Johnson is still just turning his arm over 2021.

Where the overs were missing an adjustment has been.
We believe Nagenda finished on 334 plus 1969 and Wilkins on 318.
