← Brookweald Cricket Club

Thirty-two league matches across the Second and Seventh Divisions. 5,854 runs, 237 wickets, forty-three players and one bowler who bent the whole summer around himself. Every figure below is drawn from the club’s own scoring data, ball by ball.

Eighteen Saturdays,
two directions

The same fixture list, two entirely different seasons. The 2nd XI won twelve of sixteen in the Seventh Division, eight of them at Weald Road, and ended the summer on a six-match winning run. The 1st XI lost seven of its first nine, then took four of its five wins from July onwards.

The season, fixture by fixture

Each column is one league match, in date order. Height is the MVP points the team earned that day, a single measure of what it did with bat, ball and in the field. The lane beneath tracks wins minus losses as the season runs.

How the summer moved

Three season-long measures, May through August. The club scored more per innings and conceded less per over as the year went on.

Five men made
nearly half the runs

261 innings, 5,854 runs, 35 fifties and six hundreds. Four batters passed 450 runs, and the top five between them scored 2,605, which is 44.5% of everything the club made all summer.

Runs scored, and the average behind them

Every batter with 100 or more runs. The bar is volume; the dot is the batting average on a shared scale. Gold marks are hundreds, small marks are fifties.

Average against strike rate

Batters with five or more innings. Bubble size is runs scored; the crosshair is the club median.

Where the runs come from

Runs and batting average by position in the order, across all 261 innings. Number four averaged 50.3, the most productive slot in the club.

How the wickets fell

One square per innings, 261 in all.

Innings of the season

Anthony Hill took
thirty-two at 13.41

237 wickets at 27.9 apiece, 111 maidens, an overall economy of 5.25. Hill took nine more wickets than anyone else at a third off the club average. It is the single most decisive individual season in either discipline.

Wickets taken, and the average behind them

Every bowler with four or more wickets. The bar is wickets; the dot is bowling average, where further left is better.

Economy against average

Bowlers with 90 or more balls. Bubble size is wickets. Bottom left is the place to be.

Taken against dropped

Anyone above the diagonal shelled more than they held.

Volume behind the stumps cuts both ways.Omar Ahmad took sixteen catches and three stumpings, more than anyone at the club. He also put down four.

12,452 points,
forty-three ways

The club’s points system rewards runs, wickets, catches and match involvement, so it reads a season the way a captain does rather than the way a scorebook does. Penalties for drops and ducks are tracked alongside the total, not deducted from it.

Points earned, and where they came from

Top twenty. Segments are batting, bowling and fielding, which sum to the total. Penalties sit at the right in red.

Impact against availability

Points per match against matches played. The right-hand side is who turned up; the top is who delivered.

Squad depth

Appearances by every player used in 2026. Armaan AliShah played sixteen times, more than anyone; sixteen of the forty-three played four or fewer.

Eleven played,
one trophy

T20 honours

Recomputed from ball-by-ball data with a qualification of three overs bowled for the bowling boards and twenty balls faced for strike rate. The club’s own T20 thresholds of one match, one innings and one over let single-ball cameos top the rate boards. Jonny Cavanagh’s two Play-Cricket records are merged throughout.
