The Friendly Stats are dominated by pre 1973 scorebooks before League Cricket was formed.
The top two players on this list were the stalwarts of Hythe & Dibden Cricket for over 50 years so if their feats are not over taken ill be happy. Good to see Kev McCarthy on this list but even he doesn't think he has enough playing years left to catch the top two.
Pediction ~ next season will see a few of you current players get onto this list.
