Earlier on in the season on another board I expressed the opinion that watching Stratford with May batting would be a great way to spend a day watching cricket. I have also expressed the view that he was the best uncapped player I had ever umpired.
Here is his record this year.
16 games 15 innings 8 not outs 1069 runs high score 138 no average 152.71 4 fifties 6 hundreds no ducks. Scoring rate 62.31
He scored the only centuries made by the club and two thirds of the fifties. He scored four times more runs than the next best run scorer.
Hmmm
