Grant v Golden

An update from our resident Club Statistician Barry 'Uncle Albert' Baker ...............

Forget Hatton v Mayweather, this year's major bout is for the KCC 1st XI batting prize.

Ian Graham’s attempt to top the 1st XI Batting Averages for a third successive season is under serious threat from the “Rockhampton Ball Bully” Grant Parker.

Few sporting heroes have hailed from Rockhampton, the “Beef Capital of Australia” located off the famous Bruce Highway in Queensland – their most famous son being “Rocket” Rod Laver. Keyworth CC’s gain is Rockhampton North Knight’s (http://www.northknights.com.au/) loss, although the author is pleased to note their colours of Claret & Blue.

With just four games remaining to the rain ravaged 2007 season, the respective analysis read..

Grant
11 matches 10 inns 2 not outs 90* top score 428 runs 47.56 avg
Golden
8 matches 8 inns 0 not outs 145 top score 370 runs 46.25 avg

Grant also leads Iggy in the “6 hitters” competition 10 to 8.

Fireworks can be expected from two guys who keenly follow the stats !
