Comment: 642 runs have been blazed by these 5 titans off just 239 balls at an SR of 269 (which is a ridiculous 13.5 an over!)

My top pick: Absolutely no way of looking past SAM STOTT here.

TOP 5 FIGURES

1. HARRY GAMAN (GUJRAT CHALLENGERS, Johannesburg, SAF) – 5/7 off 4.0 (Econ 1.75)

2. CHRIS MORGAN (Terrigal Freestates, Central Coast, AUS) – 5/7 off 3.0 (Econ 2.33)

3. NOEL NOEL (Kurri Blasters, Newcastle, AUS) – 5/8 off 4.0 (Econ 2.00)

4. YUSUF VAHED (SuperPats, Johannesburgs, SAF) – 5/8 off 4.0 (Econ 2.00)

5. SAQIB BUTT (Gully Boyz, Lahore, PAK) – 5/12 off 4.0 (Econ 3.00)

Comment: How about these combined figures of 19 overs 25 wickets for 42 runs @ 1.7 runs per wicket, 2.21 runs per over and 3.8 balls per wicket. Ridiculous.

My top pick: All exceptional, but HARRY GAMAN takes the cake for conceding just 7 runs in his full 4 overs with 63% of a team removed by him personally.

TOP 5 BAT STRIKE RATES

Note: Minimum 25 runs, unless first-ball homer!

* FIRST BALL HOMER:

1. MAX HARKIN (Beauy Bucheurs, Beaudesert, AUS) – SR 1,200 (12* off 1 ball!)

* TOP STRIKE RATES (min. 25 runs):

1. JOSH BLAIR (Conor and the Jets, Brisbane, AUS) – SR 417 (25 off 6 balls)

5. JASON KING (Barrel scrapers, Hamilton, NZ) – SR 377 (49 off 13)

Comment: Scoring so quickly from the outset and throughout is just such a rare skill in cricket, and these 5 tanks slammed a combined 215 runs off a measly 55 balls (11 overs!) at an SR of 391 and run rate of 19.5 an over!

My top pick: Cannot beat BRYCE WHITLEY’S ridiculous “4-a-ball” 50!

TOP 5 ECON RATES

Note: Minimum 3.0 overs bowled.

1. ROMEO KASAWAY (PAYANS 8, Pretoria, SAF) – Econ 0.75 (0/3 off 4.0)

5. BENJAMIN BERGAMO (Pitch Hitters, Cairns, AUS) – Econ 1.00 (1/3 off 3.0)

Comment: 6 lads, 22 overs, 8 wickets, 21 runs! That is 2.6 runs per wicket, 0.95 runs per over and a wicket every 13.8 balls. Utterly mind blowing.

My top pick: For how similarly devastating everyone is, I cannot ignore the quality in the name of WESSEL BAAS LABUSCHAGNE!

TOP 6 ALL-ROUNDERS

Note: Minimum 3 wkts (and Econ of under 5.00) + minimum 50 runs (and SR of 200+), then selected as a priority of top score, strike rate, wickets taken and econ (roughly, they’re all awesome performances!)

1. SIMON THORP (Sons of Pitches, Ipswich, AUS) – 4/15 off 4.0 (Econ 3.75) & 53 off 19 (SR 279)

2. CRAIG PRAMMER (8 Ballerz, Tweed Coast, AUS) – 4/9 off 3.0 (Econ 3.00) & 50 off 24 (SR 208)

3. TIM WEST (The Gumps & Routh, Sydney, AUS) – 4/18 off 4.0 (Econ 4.50) & 50 off 21 (SR 238)

My top pick: Whilst very close, SIMON THORP did tremendously (most wickets, maxovers, 2nd best strike rate, top score) so that can’t be ignored.

—
