Since 1965
Steve Kourouche took 5-43 off 7.2 overs in 2nds on Saturday. It was his 117th grade match for the Club and the first time he has taken 5 wickets in an innings. He had previously taken 4 wickets in an innings twice, both in 5th Grade: 4-41 in 2012-13 and 4-81 in 2013-14. It was his second match in 2nd Grade, but the first time he had bowled in 2nds! Well done Steve – outstanding!!
The question was posed at training yesterday – was this the best bowling by an off-spinner in 2nd Grade since 2000? Here are the best figures:
6-78 Chris Macnamara (2001-02)
5-37 Josh Horner (2018-19)
5-43 Steve Kourouche (2020-21)
5-58 Luke Dudman (2001-02)
5-65 Scott Dawes (2010-11)
5-85 Nathan Whittingham (2012-13)
