2. PETER GEORGE (Screaming Goats, Adelaide, AUS) – 110 off 39 (SR 282)

5. JAMES KERSE (Prahraners, Melbourne, AUS) – 90 off 39 (SR 231)
Comment: These 7 warriors powerbombed 681 runs off just 263 balls / 52.3 overs at the ridiculous scoring rates of 259 runs per 100 balls / 12.95 runs per over!
My top pick: My first ever tie between NICK WATSON for his all-round supremacy and THARINDU RANAWEERA for literally smacking 90 off 4.1 overs and scoring at 21.4 runs per over.
TOP 5 FIGURES
1. ASHWIN RAMNATH (New Recruits, Cape Town, SAF) – 5/11 off 3.1 (Econ 3.44)
2. ANDREW CASSISA (GR8 M8S, Cape Town, SAF) – 5/18 off 3.4 (Econ 4.74)

5. HARSHAD JAKATEY (Thunder Strikers, Brisbane, AUS) – 4/10 off 3.1 (Econ 3.13)
Comment: These 6 players took 27 wickets between them off 19.2 overs / 97 balls for the cost of 87 runs. That is 3.2 runs per wicket, 3.6 balls per wicket and 4.5 runs per over. Ridiculous.
My top pick: Cannot look past ASHWIN RAMNATH for his 5 poles in 16 balls.
TOP 5 BAT STRIKE RATES
Note: Minimum 30 runs scored (unless homer off first ball!)
FIRST BALL HOMER:
1. SAM PREECE (The Rats CC, Auckland, NZ) – SR 1,200 (12* off 1)
TOP STRIKE RATES:
1. THARINDU RANAWEERA (Angry Pirates, Auckland, NZ) – SR 429 (90 off 21)
2. RYAN VELDSMAN (True Blue Boys, Pretoria, SAF) – SR 418 (46 off 11)
3. QUINTEN CLEIN (The Dirty Rats, Townsville, AUS) – SR 417 (50 off 12)
4. ANIKET PARIKH (The Tonkers, Auckland, NZ) – SR 400 (72 off 18)
5. MARCEL GOVENDER (Kyalami Kings, Sandton, SAF) – SR 382 (42 off 11)
Comment: This is mind-blowing stuff here, these 5 batsmen carved exactly 300 runs between them off just 73 balls / 14.3 overs (SR 411, 20.5 runs per over)! Imagine it, you run into bowl and get hit for 4 and that is UNDER the average scoring rate! Imagine also that your team has not even gotten through 75% of its bowling overs and the opposition is on 300 (with 27 balls left)!
My top pick: THARINDU RANAWEERA walks this one in for the ridiculousness of it all, amazing mate.
TOP 5 ECON RATES
Note: Minimum 3.0 overs bowled.
1. TAYLOR DUNN (Woods, Auckland, NZ) – Econ 0.50 (0/2 off 4.0)
2. TOM ARMITAGE (Shank Feeders, Newcastle, AUS) – Econ 1.33 (0/4 off 3.0)

5. SIMON THORP (Sons of Pitches, Ipswich, AUS) – Econ 1.75 (1/7 off 4.0)
Comment: You know the drill, 6 lads, 21 overs / 105 balls sent down, 30 runs conceded, 6 wickets taken. That is 1.43 runs per over and 5.0 runs per wicket!
My top pick: This section is all about Econ, and TAYLOR DUNN is in a league of his own here this week, well done lad!
TOP 4 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 are all awesome performances!)
1. NICK WATSON (The no Balls, Northern Rivers, AUS) – 117 off 52 (SR 225) & 3/9 off 2.0 (Econ 4.50) & 1 catch
2. ASHWIN RAMNATH (New Recruits, Cape Town, SAF) – 50 off 19 (SR 263) & 5/11 off 3.1 (Econ 3.44) & 1 catch
3. BLAKE STEEL (Hell Bent From Bowling, Sunshine Coast, AUS) – 50 off 22 (SR 227) & 4/12 off 4.0 (Econ 3.00) & 1 catch
4. CONOR GILCHRIST (Graduates of the Chris Martin Batting Academy, Auckland, NZ) – 50 off 23 (SR 217) & 3/13 off 3.0 (Econ 4.33)
Comment: Simply insane here – 4 men, 267 runs off 116 balls / 23.1 overs (SR 230, run rate 11.5) + 15 wickets for just 45 runs off 12.1 overs / 61 balls (Avg 3.0, SR 4.1, Econ 3.69) + 3 catches (because, why not?)
My top pick: NICK WATSON is just simply irresistible, don’t ya think?

* 4 dismissals:
- GEORGE YOUNG (Steadfast, Auckland, NZ) – 4 catches
- DEAN FELBER (Tonka Trucks, Sunshine Coast, AUS) – 3 catches + 1 stumping
- SCOTT JOHNSON (Gone Walkabout, Cairns, AUS) – 3 catches + 1 stumping
- OMER REHMAN (Drifters, Auckland, NZ) – 3 stumpings + 1 catch & 32 off 12 (SR 267) & 1/13 off 1.0 (Econ 13.00)
- CHRIS WOOD (The Bats, Sydney, AUS) – 3 stumpings + 1 catch & 44 off 35 (SR 126)
Comment: No matter the combination, wiping out half a team with a pair of keeping gloves is just fly, yo.
TOP FIELDERS
* 4 catches:
- SKYELER VAN DEN BERG (Babaganooosh, Sandton, SAF) – 4 catches + 46 off 26 (SR 177) & 2/25 off 4.0 (Econ 6.25)
- BRAD HILL (Angry Pirates, Auckland, NZ) – 4 catches + 56 off 20 (SR 280)
Comment: Awestruck that these boys not only wiped out half a team each with their bare hands, but also weighed in heavily with bat and/or ball!
Reach for the stars boys.
