Comment: 5 lads, 526 runs off 184 balls at the SR of 286 / 14.3 runs per over!
My top pick: MATT MACQUET cannot be ignored for his bruising 5.4 over ton at the ridiculous scoring rate of 17.3 runs an over! Disgusting Matt, you are an animal!
TOP 5 FIGURES
1. TRENT JOYCE (Macattack, Perth, AUS) – 6/8 off 2.4 (Econ 3.08)
2. SARTHAK PANDYA (Squid United, Sydney, AUS) – 6/10 off 3.3 (Econ 2.78)

5. NAWEED JALALY (Thornbury Ravens, Melbourne, AUS) – 5/4 off 3.0 (Econ 1.33)
Comment: A bit speechless here, particularly for the 6-fa’s, that is 75% of an LMS team knocked by one human! Total figures here for these 5 titans are 16.4 overs, 29 wickets, 57 runs at the ridiculous numbers of 1.97 runs per wicket, 2.90 balls per wicket and 3.39 runs per over!
My top pick: TRENT JOYCE took 6 wickets in 14 balls, just reflect upon that…
TOP 5 BAT STRIKE RATES
Note: Minimum 25 runs scored (unless homer off first ball!)
1. DAVID WILDASH (Almost 8, Wellington, NZ) – SR 500 (40 off 8 balls)
2. SIMON KEEN (Concrete Warriors, Central Coast, AUS) – SR 400 (52 off 13 balls)
3. NIREKANTH YOGARASA (Melbourne Eelam Boys, Melbourne, AUS) – SR 393 (55 off 14 balls)
4. AMANDEEP BHATTI (Amazing Scorpions, Wellington, NZ) – SR 371 (52 off 14 balls)
4. BEN LEONARDI (99 Problems But a Pitch Ain’t One, Brisbane, AUS) – SR 371 (52 off 14 balls)
4. KENTAL JANI (Stinging Fury, Melbourne, AUS) – SR 371 (SR 26 off 7 balls)
5. CHRIS BOYD (Trundlers, Sydney, AUS) – SR 369 (48 off 13 balls)
Comment: Incredible to have 3 lads tie on the exact SR, so these 7 lads faced a total of 83 balls / 16.3 overs to absolutely welt 325 runs. Just picture that. You are less than 85% through a bowling innings and these lunatics have put on 325 runs against you…
My top pick: DAVID WILDASH is irresistible here, especially given the fact he also took 4/28 off 3.0 overs and a catch to boot!
TOP 5 ECON RATES
Note: Minimum 3.0 overs bowled.
1. DYLAN LEEMING (Rolled Gold, Perth, AUS) – Econ 1.00 (3/4 off 4.0)
2. WILL X (Old Two Blues C.C., Melbourne, AUS) – Econ 1.00 (2/3 off 3.0)
3. NATHAN JACOBS (Macattack, Perth, AUS) – Econ 1.00 (1/3 off 3.0)
4. LINDINHLANHLA MNGADI (Double D’s, Sandton, SAF) – Econ 1.00 (1/3 off 3.0)
5. EDWARD BRINDLE (Jack Ass, Pretoria, SAF) – Econ 1.00 (1/3 off 3.0)
Comment: Some real symmetry here, these 5 mean old cusses rolled 16 overs / 80 balls to claim 8 wickets for 16 runs. So, at basically the complete opposite end as the lunatics immediately above this category, these boys sent down 80% of an innings and bowled a team out for 16 runs…
My top pick: DYLAN LEEMING by a mile (most overs and most wickets and equal economy).
TOP 3 ALL-ROUNDERS
Note: Minimum 3 wkts (and Econ of 5.00 or under) + minimum 50 runs (and SR of 200+), then selected as a priority of top score, strike rate, wickets taken and econ (roughly, they are all awesome performances!)
1. JUSTIN STREET (Old Mates VIII, Brisbane, AUS) – 68 off 28 (SR 243) & 3/15 off 3.0 (Econ 5.00) & 2 catches
2. SIMARJEET SINGH (8 HITTERS, Tweed Coast, AUS) – 50 off 17 (SR 294) & 3/8 off 3.0 (Econ 2.67)
3. BEN MINNIE (Designated Drinkers, Bedfordview, SAF) – 53 off 25 (SR 212) & 3/13 off 3.0 (Econ 4.33) & 2 catches
Comment: These 3 blokes scored 171 runs off 70 balls at the SR of 244 / 12.2 runs per over along with 9 wickets off 9 overs for just 36 runs (4.0 runs per wicket, 5.0 balls per wicket, 4.00 runs per over) along with 4 catches (so half a team).
My top pick: JUSTIN STREET is from my neck of the woods (Brisbane) and he has shellacked it this week.

- KIAN SCHWARTZ (Son of a Pitch, Bedfordview, SAF) – 1 catch + 5 stumpings & 60 off 29 (SR 207)
Comment: Seriously, what are you doing Kian? Removed 75% of a team with your gloved hands, with a frankly obscene 5 stumpings, and also belted 60 off 5.4 overs…
