:eng: :bat: Dennis Brookes

Test stats
: 17 runs @ 8.50 (best 10) in 1 match
First-class stats: 30,874 runs @ 36.10 (71 centuries, best 257) in 525 matches

If there was one thing that my team was lacking, it was a bit of Northants. Dennis Brookes is precisely that: he spent his 25-year first-class career with only one county, and did so with distinction: he averaged 36 with the bat in an era of three-day cricket when such an average absolutely marked you out as the best player in your county team. He was the perennial next cab off the rank but was called on only once despite appearing 14 times in the North versus South fixture. At his peak, he averaged over 40 for five successive county seasons after the War, and even as a 44-year-old, he still kept his standards high with 1,598 runs at 36.31 in his final season.

Home ground

It has to be doesn't it? Even my home ground is a one-cap wonder, but in the 2010s it is green and favours seamers hugely. Quite by accident, I have six of those so should probably make the most of it.

The OTW Rejects drew the match by the skin of their teeth thanks to the efforts of Saba Karim, who was somewhat surprisingly overlooked during the draft despite boasting a first-class average of nearly 57 after 120 matches.

A good batting performance from my team. Just couldn’t get that last wicket though. Every batsmen contributed, and so did the bowlers.

Charles Aubrey Smith and Gus Kempis were good. But George Lohmann was better.

ahmedleo414's XI    139 & 56
Victorians          192 & 5/0               
  
Victorians won by 10 wickets
 
Man of the match: George Lohmann (Victorians)
 
Was always gonna be tough against a bowling lineup that good
 
Wow Arnold Warren must really have Victor Trumper's number. He's taken his wicket 3 times in four innings now if we retroactively include this first class game too (which I am :p).

Still can't believe we managed to post 300+ and bowl that line-up full of legends out what a heroic showing that was.

NMA's XI's first innings scorecard made for some interesting reading, with ALL the top seven batsmen recording half-centuries but none being able to reach that elusive three-figure mark on a very good batting wicket. Perhaps an extra spinner might have come in handy in the second innings where they were made to toil for more than 180 overs by the likes of Lucius Gwynn, CB Fry and Martin Donnelly, and would have to bowl part-time spinner Wally Hardinge for as many as 28 overs.

Rugger Buggers      288 & 578/8             
NMA's XI            534/8d
  
Match drawn
 
Man of the match: Martin Donnelly (Rugger Buggers)
 
After seeing their first innings score and our first innings score, I thought we were a shoe in for victory. Guess the lack of a spinner isn't going to bode well for me in this entire tournament.
