- Our final game of the season lasted just 27 overs after we were bowled out in 16 overs and 3 balls. Possibly the shortest completed match in Broadway history, although not our shortest innings. When we got our record low total of 25 v Telegraph in 1983, we were all out in 14.1 overs.
- So our last 4 games of the season included scores of 47 v Bexleyheath, 67 for 6 v Priory and yesterday's 57.
- 10 wins and 8 defeats from 21 matches
- For the 7th consecutive season, Adam topped the batting averages and scored most runs. However, for the first time since 2006, he failed to reach 500 runs.
- Ian topped the bowling averages for the first time since 2005 and Steve T took most wickets for the first time since 1994.
- Adam took 13 outfield catches, only Liam (16) has ever taken more in a season
- Adam's 55th fifty and 4th of the season
- Simon & Adam put on 102 for the 3rd wicket, the first century partnership of the season. It's Simon & Adam's 2nd century partnership for the club.
- Steve T has returned his two best bowling figures ever in his last three games. Sunday's 4 for 12 (his 7th fourfor) followed the 4 for 8 he took v Bexleyheath three weeks earlier. He now has 24 wickets this year, his second best season total behind the 29 he took in 1994.
- Rory took his 200th wicket-keeping catch (he has a further 7 as an outfielder)
September 11 v Priory CC, "Away" at Mayday Gdns, (35 overs) Abandoned rain
- Rain saved Priory as we were cruising to a comfortable victory. Possibly.
- Forget about Tendulkar's 100th international hundred. An even more momentous landmark looms as Chris took his 99th wicket for the club.
- Adam took his 13th catch of the season equalling his 2005 best. Only Liam (16) has taken more in a season.
- Tony played his 217th game, equalling Dave Tanner's total for the club. They have the equal 8th highest number of appearances for Broadway.
August 28 v Bexleyheath CC, Home, (40 overs) LOST
- We don't have to go that far back for a similar batting nightmare to yesterday, as we only got 48 v Shades at Dulwich last year. But 47 was our lowest total since we were bowled out twice for 39 in 1998 by Exel and Dartford Nomads. However, we didn't have a full side in either of those games. So yesterday was the lowest total by an 11 man Broadway line-up since the 1991 Market Harborough tour when Shepshed Messengers bowled us out for 43.
- Nobody reached double figures yesterday. That has happened before including that 1991 Shepshed Messengers game when the top score was, like yesterday, 9. However, when we made our second lowest score ever (34 v Crayford Dartfordians in 1990), the top individual score was only 7 which might be the record.
- However, two personal bests in the bowling figures. Steve T has never taken 5 wickets in an innings but yesterday was his 6th fourfor and beat his previous best of 4 for 19 v Exel at King George's way back in 1995.
- And Luke's 2 for 20 was also a new personal best, beating the 2 for 39 he took in the first Shooters Hill game this year.
- Finally, Adam became the 11th player to play 200 games for Broadway and the first new boy. He made his debut in 1999, whereas the other ten (legends) to reach that landmark all played their first games in the club's first three seasons (1982 to 1984).
August 21 v Carshalton Athletic CC, Away (40 overs) WON
- Officially a two wicket victory although, as we were one man short, we won with our last pair at the wicket. We had been 77 for 7 before Liam & Craig put on 64 for the 8th wicket.
- Liam's 2nd fifty and a new personal best beating the 57 he scored v Ash at Mayday Gardens last year. In fact, Liam has improved his personal best in every season since his debut in 2006.
- Liam also passed 500 runs for the club.
July 31 v Streatham & Marlborough CC TIED
- Only our 4th ever tie in 30 seasons and 533 games. The previous three were against Graveney (1993), Calton Sports (2004) and Chak De (2009).
July 24 v Nuxley CC home (40 overs) WON
Nuxley 73 (Thurman 5 for 8)
- Our highest score of the season
- Our first game against Meopham since we played them 5 times between 1990 and 1992. And our first win.
- Rory's 43rd fifty
- Liam's record of 16 catches in a season is under threat as Adam took his 10th of the year with two months to go
- Hish's 2nd fifty and a new personal best, beating the 50 he scored in the first game this season against the landlords. That also makes it eight scores of 25+ in his first 10 innings for the club.
- Adam's 54th fifty and third of the season
- Adam's 53rd fifty
- Three wickets for Brian on his first appearance for us since playing two games in 2003
June 12 v Ash CC away (35 overs) LOST
- Our 200th defeat (in 527 games)
- Only our 4th defeat in 19 games v Ash and the first since 1993
- Sicknote's highest score since his fifty v Addington three years ago
- Dan's 50th game
June 5 v Newington away (time game) WON
- We have twice won games by 10 wickets, but this was our first ever win by 9 wickets
- Simon's 6th fifty and a new personal best, beating the 65 he scored at East Haddon on last year's tour.
- When Simon reached 5, he overtook Mick Tanner's career aggregate of 1253 runs to become our all-time 10th highest run scorer
- Ian's best bowling figures since 2002
May 29 v May & Baker CC (home) LOST
- First time since 2005 that we've conceded 200 runs in three successive games
- (Former Karachi Under 19 man) Faraz's 125* is the 5th highest score ever against us
- Ach was hit for 28 in his last over equalling the club record set originally by, er, me in 1993 v Friendly and equalled by Ian v Carshalton & Croydon Gas in 2003. Nice one, Ach. Any record's a good record, Ian says.
May 22 v Beddington CC (away) - time game, so it was a draw
- Dan batted throughout our innings (2 hours 23 mins) for his 2nd fifty and a new personal best beating the 52 he got at Mears Ashby on last year's tour
May 15 v Priory CC (home) LOST
- Simon's 5th fifty
- A new personal best of 11 for Luke Arpino
Just to confirm the result. In a 35 over game:
Swinging Googlies 76 (Abhi Duggal 4 for 21)
BCC 77 for 7 from 21.2 overs
I'm afraid there was a complete lack of stats highlights, although it may be the first game we've ever played with 5 non-members. Our guest players dominated our bowling taking 8 of the 9 bowlers' wickets.
But I can bring you the oppo's match report. You might want to fast forward to the top of page 4, where there's some nice remarks about us.

Next Sunday's game will be Tony's 200th for the club.
July 11 vs Shades CC at South Bank University Club, Turney Road, Dulwich
Shades 105 (Darryl 3 for 15)
BCC 48
A similarly low scoring game to our only previous match v Shades in 2002 (BCC 84/9, Shades 61)
Our lowest total since Dartford Nomads bowled us out for 39 at Waring Park in 1998 (although we were 2 men short that day)

Adrian (now 2495 runs) overtook Gary (2481) to become our all-time 7th highest scorer
A rare change at the top of the batting averages as Adam's dismal recent form allows "Five hour" Rory to come in at the top. Also a new entrant at the top of the bowling averages. God knows how.
Updated averages are here

Also, Adam's 148* was the 2nd highest individual score ever behind his record 150 in the 2007 Eden Park game

First 50 for Liam, beating his previous best of 33* v Carlton Sports at Mayday Gardens last year

April 25 v Old Rutlishians CC at Merton Park

The highest ever score against us beating the 302/6 by Carshalton & Croydon Gas at Mollison Drive in 2003. These are the only two occasions that 300 has been scored in a Broadway game. Our record score is 295.
183 runs is our 3rd heaviest runs defeat
483 runs is the 3rd highest match aggregate ever
Although their wicket did not fall until the score was 321, this counts as an opening partnership of 206 as that was when the first opener retired. This is still a record opening partnership against us (beating 167 for Morton Colliery on the 1993 tour) and the 2nd highest partnership for any wicket (behind the 3rd wicket partnership of 220 by Friendly at Waring, also in 1993).
Adam's 45th fifty
