1st XI cricketers' statistics

All season Audlem Online has been providing weekly reports of Audlem Cricket Club's games. As you will be aware, this season has been a successful one for the 1st XI, finishing second and being promoted from Division 3 of the Cheshire Cricket Alliance. The 2nd XI has had a frustrating season, at one time being in the mix for promotion from Division 5, but ultimately losing some of their potentially easier games to the weather.

The 1st XI's statistics are available and make impressive reading. Two batsmen, skipper Chris Shenton and Tom Measures, have scored over 500 runs and spinner Lyndon Woodcock has taken 68 wickets during the season. This has been the highest number of wickets taken by an Audlem bowler during a season since spinner Ray Sherratt claimed 78 victims back in 1978.

A selection of them are shown below:
