Opta Bazza

141 - SJ Jr had a day out on Saturday at Kirkella with a mammoth 141, the highest @HICEcc score on Play-Cricket. His 3rd ton of the season and he's leading the runs, averages and centuries charts. 658 runs so far this season is his highest haul for a single season #purplepatch

61 - Match-winning knock of 61 not out for @denziebarker yesterday. 501 runs so far for the season, his most with the bat since 2018. Is he back to his best? #hawaii501

219 - Apologies to our leading wicket taker this season, Mr @RubyArthur1. With @OptaBazza on somewhat of a hiatus earlier this season, we missed that his 26 wickets so far took him into the 200 club, with him now standing on 219 wickets #oneofthegreats

189 - @Smith_shark92 so fucking good, that he smashed 189 runs (inc. 3x 50's) in 4 seasons before he was even born. Sadly the reality is in his 16 years of playing for the Coalies he's achieved 1 ton and 2 50's #peaked #stewardsenquiry

75 - Nobody tell him this, but if Martin Collier could play enough innings to reach the threshold, he is in big danger of winning the batting averages this season. Averaging 75 and counting, should be a big enough incentive to see him available a few more Saturday's #stroketheego

391 - Just halfway through the season and @1_DanKemp has already racked 391 runs, his most in a single campaign with plenty of time left to add to it. 3rd in the runs column and 3rd in the averages, it's amazing what some @PaceComms sponsored shirts will do for you #slowlydoesit

69 - SJ Jr's 2nd ton of the season moves him to just 1 behind @denziebarker on the list of centuries for @HICEcc. His knock of 122* on Saturday for the 2's was 69% of their runs but he sadly ran out of partners to bring the W home, falling 17 runs short of their total #summerof69

60 - A busy time in the life of @OptaBazza but after 60 days in the wilderness it's time for some more embarrassing but also appreciative stats #praisethestats

2 - 2 wins from 2 to start the season for @HICEcc 1st XI. Sadly also 2 dollies dropped today from the skipper at mid-on prolonging time out in the field. I caught up with @Barks_8 after the game to hear Captain Coalie's thoughts #inanutshell #positivity

42 - @LiamWalker1234 with a 'classy' 42 on Saturday almost saw the Coalies over the line against Driffield. It's his highest knock since an identical 42 against the same opposition on 2019. They must think he does this week in, week out #crab

76 - @1_DanKemp carried his bat for 76 runs on Saturday to set a winning total for @HICEcc 2nd XI. It's the 3rd time he's carried his bat (once in 2020 and once in 2013 in a chase). 5 balls remained in the innings, so if Swallow could have got a single, then the ton was on #4x6

2 - He might have gone round in 133 shots, but only 2 balls used at @beverleygolf is a great result for @LiamWalker1234 at the @HICEcc Golf Day #giveitsomewelly

4 - Coalies stalwarts John Littlefair and Andy Swallow held out to earn the @HICEcc 2nd XI a losing draw on Saturday. It's the 4th time the pair have remained not out at the end of an innings together #oldguard

232 - @HICEcc 1st XI conceded 232 runs on Saturday and came mighty close in the chase. It is the most runs they have conceded since August 2018, when they also conceded 232 runs and bizarrely also against Sutton in another losing draw #ibarhangover

3 - @wgoode50 with 3 fielding outs (2 catches and 1 run out) on Saturday, levelled his highest contribution of 3 outs in a single match when he took 3 catches back in 2016 against Hessle. It's his first run out since 2017, which also happened away vs. Middleton #pickyourfielders

9 - 9 byes conceded, 9 leg byes conceded and 9 weeks out for @andy_littlefair after broken foot shenanigans on Saturday #useyourhandsandy

152 - No midweek action this week as the match fell foul of the weather. However last week's win by 152 runs was the highest winning margin for the @HICEcc Midweek XI when batting first, beating their previous record of a 106 run win back in 2016 #blast

111 - A 71* and 40* in the last 2 weeks leaves @jamesf10123 sat on 111 not out at the moment. He'd scored 101 runs in 10 innings before these 2, so he's more than doubled his runs tally in the last 2 weeks alone #nelson

19 - @denziebarker is a better keeper than England's No.1 @nmartyn25, pass it on. 19 wicket-keeping wickets for our own big lad against 18 for the Leeds great. Some more support from the bowlers required for a push at that top spot #itsalldowntothebowling

56 - With 56 wickets combined the Coalies' @achapple94 and @LiamWalker1234 are sitting at number 1 and 2 in the @HuntersYLN Div 2 Holderness leading wicket-takers standings #onetwo #bestbowlersintheleague
