HLCC hatricks, fifers and tons...

Ricks hatrick (20/6/13) got me thinking that in 18 seasons of HLCC 2020, I've only ever seen three; 2 for us, and 1 against:
  • Ricks last night v Superstars, the players Bulby, Johnson and Plane being his hapless victims, 1 stumped, 2 bowled.
  • Adam, for Hounslow Homes v Hounslow Leisure, in 2006, Jim, Steve and Don being his victims that evening. 2 caught and bowled.
  • Nav, for Thames Trains, 2008, all bowled. Rick, I remember well, being his third victim, middle stump.
As for fifers, HL have had just 6 in those 18 seasons, no mean feat in just 24 balls. I can barely recall any against us.
  • 3 now for Rick, including last nights 5 for 23, 
  • 2 for Paul, best 5 for 20, and 
  • 1 for Chris Bick, all bowled, for just 12 runs, in 3 overs.
Batting. As for tons, again no mean feat for most mere mortals in 20 overs, we've scored 6, 5 of which from Wendel, (his highest 140no, and as has been previously mentioned in this 'ere blog, off 39 balls, including 34 runs from 1 over) . As for 50's, we've scored about 100 of those...so they're easy...
