Laziest runner between the wickets

Most times caught at long on/off

Fussiest bat badger

Fussiest about bats with a sub 10 average

Least revs on the ball by a spinner

More bats than 'career' runs, Tim?

How about current seasons kit cost per game. I spent a grand total of 420 on gear for this season and have played 3 times... Current capital cost per game = 140. Ouch.

I would quite like to be proven wrong on this so as to feel less of a freak, but biggest head, I reckon that's me. It's 65cm around. They don't make cricket helmets that big, they literally don't.

I spent ages looking for one at a time when I had no money whatsoever and ended up spending �65 on the bottom of the line Adidas ayrtek-shaped one with the foam inserts you're meant to shape to your head, with all the foam inserts taken out, it still is so tight it gives me horrendous headaches after 15 or so overs and digs into my temples, if I ever do get hit it's going to cut my head I know it.

I want a masuri but I'll never wear one, such is my curse.

I ride a motorcycle and had to get my crash helmet posted from America in order to get the XXXL size the big brands don't sell in the UK. I'm 6'2 but that helmet is still so big I've got the proportions of a giant toddler with it on.

If anyone actually knows of a genuinely bigger-than-usual batting helmet I'd like to hear it.

This might not be very helpful now however I've got a teammate who has an unusually large head and found that the only helmet that would fit him was the Woodworm (the old classic Ashes 2005 Pietersen/Flintoff one). Link here to an example..

Trouble is, I think you might really struggle to get one of these now.

not proud of this one but in my younger, less control & lots of pace days I had the (dis)pleasure of bowling most wides in one over

16wides in one over all down the leg side and that was 16 deliveries for 16 runs of wides + 6 dot ball with a wicket or 2 in one over. 22 ball over

22 balls in an over, I bet the scorers loved you!

Well let's just say its now part of the folklore in cricket here been almost 10 years since and it still comes up every now and then

My only claim off interest on a cricket pitch.

I once got 50 before my fellow opener got off the mark.

Play 46 over games. And overs count down. So we was seven overs in.
