Argentina Domestic Season: 2nd Division Statistical Round up
George Cribbes - 2 May 2001

The 2000/01 season has finished last Saturday so is time to complete second class averages. In the batting, folowing an analysis of the last three seasons we can see that the averages came down but there were more games played.

This time number one was P. Hopkirk (Dragons) with an unreachable 88.66 in his 5 innings and one century. (Last season was L. Paterlini with 323.00, and Mat Bailey, from Old Dragons with 163.00 the season before).

Next was N. Iglesias, far away, with 66.80 in 6 innings and one century, but so effective so as to be called to play for the North v South match. Third was ever present S. Ciaburri with 62.50 in 7 innings, but retired or not out in 5 games. Fourth was G. Zwaga with 57.50 in 5 innings but 3 not out's and fifth was Billy Mac Dermott with 57 in 5 innings and nearly one century. There were three Lomas players in the first five places.

None of them were present in last two season averages. Here is an improvement. In highest scores M. Whitelegg with 137 had the best score for the last three seasons (112 - M. Fabian last season and 124n-Murray Davis two seasons ago), followed by N. Iglesias' 113 (who had a 95 last season), Gary Savage 109 in his only game (93 and 85n for 7th and 5th in last two seasons), P. Hopkirk with 101 (and also 81 this season) and Julian Villarino with 100 retired for Belgrano juniors.

For most runs scored we came down this time, N. Iglesias made 334 (Charles Gibson reach 469 last season and Murray Davis 300 two ago), followed by M. Whitelegg 263 (one century), P. Hopkirk 260 (one century), GeGe Mackenzie 234 and E. Mac Dermott 228. Again three Lomas players in the best five.

For catches, here comes the problem in the scoring book.; no one names who took the catch so the scorer does not complete the scoring sheet and during all the season there are a lot of names incomplete so this analysis is not so correct. For what we have Agustin Casime took 7 (last season was Nicolas Vazquez with 8), followed by Marcelo Rocca, Steve Bryans and John Moeller by 5 each.

In the bowling analysis the level came down again with P. Mac Gowan leading with 10.88 (two seasons ago he was at the top with 7.20 while J. Moeller led last season with 6.08), followed by L. Paterlini with 12 (third two seasons ago), S. Ciaburri 12.53 and youngsters F. Fuertes 13.28 and P. Canevari with 14.14. South clearly dominated the averages with two Lomas and St. Alban's players mixed in the first four places.

For most overs bowled very young boys led the table; S. Nino led with 76 (same as last season with 85 and L. Paterlini with 30,5 two seasons ago), followed by Charly Geddes with 67, Agustin Casime with 54, Andres Annand with 42.4 and Federico Alonso with 41. Belgrano had three yougsters in the first five places.

For most wickets taken S. Ciaburri and C. Geddes led with 13 apiece (far away from A. Casime's 20 from last season), followed by S. Nino with 12 (he was 5th with 13 last season).

And for most economical bowlers First Division top wicket taker L. Paterlini was the best with 2.66 runs per over, followed by S. Nino with 3.01 (8th with 3.80 last season), P. Mac Gowan with 3.26 (the best with 2.40 two seasons ago), S. Bryans with 3.40 and F. Fuertes with 3.57. Again three south players in the top five.

An apology to Hernan Pereyra that was erroneously mistaken in the last bowling analysis where he should be placed in 9th position with 176.2-20-616-25 and an average of 24.64.
