Martin Cricket Club Review Winter 2011

For Martin Cricket Club 2011 saw them return to the Premier League after having been relegated the previous season. The season saw them win four of their opening five games and then after defeat against reigning champions Market Rasen they went on another winning run of four wins which saw them positioned in the top four. The season, though, ended with them failing to win any of their final four games with two lost to the weather and the other two ending in defeat. This saw them slip to a final position of fifth, which on reflection was more than pleasing, considering the sides contesting this division.

The leading runmaker for the side was newcomer Dan Duke who hit 534 runs, including two centuries and three fifties. His batting average was 48.55. On the bowling front another newcomer, Geordie Scott, took the most wickets with 23 at an average of 13.09. He picked up two five wicket hauls. In the field Steve Scott collected the most catches with seven. This said he was, in reality, the club's outstanding all-rounder, scoring 525 runs at an average of 47.73 and taking 21 wickets (average 14.62).
