Tale of the Tape - CD run-scorers Ford Trophy

They're top of the table after six rounds of the Ford Trophy, and well on top.  So what is happening with CD?

Fair to say they are a well balanced side, capable of setting a total with the top order firing, and capable of defending a total or restricting an opposition through a well appointed bowling attack.

I have a poser for you.  If the selected players in the Blackaps ODI side need to be replaced through injury or lack of form, who is next?  Well if an opener's required noone in the Ford Trophy is setting fires apart from CD's George Worker.  Three centuries in 6 matches, the highest a bewildering 194 and at an average of 83.3.  But if we need a 3 or 4, look no further than Will Young.  Only one ton and a not out, close with another not out of 97 and steady scores giving him an average of 81.5.

And one has to remember these have been scored on many varying decks.

Here is their stats after six rounds remember:

  Worker   Young
  118   101*
  8   22
  9   97*
  194   36
  100   65
  71   5
Runs 500   326
Average 83.3   81.5

One has to remember, good form whilst it is happening is better than top tier players out of form.  Worker also offers the other option of bowling, so an asset.
