Badgers Cricket Club – Season 2025 Match Results

 

This page provides immediate access to the latest results for season 2025. The above links, and the navigation bar at the top of the screen, also make it possible to get at the running results and match reports for the other seasons since this web site has been in existence, as well as the results for the seasons back to 1959. Seasons prior to 1984 do not include information about individual performances since full scorebook details have not (yet??) been input to the database for those years.

The match reports page makes it possible to see the reports from all games in the current season, not just the current one in the section below. To get at the reports you can either select the link in the menu at the top of the page, or indeed in the text above, or click on the date and opponent details in the results table below, which should be a hyperlink directly to the report for that game.

My apologies for the lack of a report for this game, but nothing was written at the time and there is little or no chance that anything will be now

Statistical Notes: I am going to start these notes with a piece of ephemera that I am not currently able to put in context, which is that every one of the six Badgers that bowled in this thirty over contest conceded at least one six, which I am going to guess is fairly unusual. More to follow on that, perhaps.

The 137 that Jake and Darrell amassed together is the joint fourth highest ever for the fourth wicket, albeit some way behind the best such which they also shared.

Rob’s two catches on the day, neither involving his chest or moobs, saw him become the 16th Badger to take 50 outfield catches for the club, passing Richard Kemp in the process.

Possibly before the day started but certainly by the end of his first over (things are rather confused by the fact that I have not yet processed the Saturday game on tour) Darrell passed Alan Wilkes into eighth place on the lifetime overs bowled list, ending the day on 1,291.1 which is the better part of 200 overs behind Mick Willmott in seventh.

Bill played in his 162nd game for the club which almost certainly means he is beyond the likely number of games played by Dave Bowerman and thus in 22nd place on the all-time list of appearances. The four runs he conceded in his final over also took him up a spot in the lifetime runs allowed slate, taking him past Steve Card into 14th.

The stumping that I claimed from the final ball of the home side’s innings was the 500th wicket keeper dismissal that I have recorded in the 49 seasons and more than 641 games that I have played for the club. I wish that I could also tell you how many games I have kept wicket in and thus what the per match figure would be for those 262 catches and 238 stumpings but sadly that information is often not available before 1990 and has only been entered into the database from 2011 onwards. Since the start of 2011 I have played in 206 games that counted towards the averages, kept in 188 of them and recorded 75 catches (at 0.40 per game kept) and 84 stumpings (0.45). I suspect that the first of those figures is very low and the second of them fairly high in comparison with other keepers.
