Okay, so as it's a relatively quiet Thursday afternoon with not a lot happening, I thought I'd spice it up a bit.
Below are the stats for county championship player's batting scoressince the 31st August 2014 and you have to guess who they are (STATS DO NOT INCLUDE UNIVERSITY MATCHES);
Player 1 = 11, 23, 0, 0, 0, 10, 0, 0, 26, 35, 38, 98, 0, 18, 61, 4, 3, 12, 61, 49, 1, 5, 0, 12, 41, 7, 2 [517 runs @19.15] = Keaton Jennings - Balladeer got it correct!
Player 2 = 171, 30, 74, 36, 0, 5, 48, 81, 20, 6*, 19, 11, 20, 0, 73, 4, 5*, 84, 8, 4, 0, 5, 56 [760 runs @ 36.19] = Chris Cooke - Srihari got it correct!
Player 3 = 1, 29, 13, 21, 8, 6, 4, 57, 56, 96, 97, 82, 18, 54 [542 runs @ 38.71] = Karl Brown - Balladeer got it correct!
Player 4 = 60, 2, 8, 49, 102, 59, 50, 66, 125, 0, 15, 219, 108, 23, 139, 74* [1099 runs @ 73.27] = Jonny Bairstow - jjp got it correct!
Player 5 = 70, 10, 0, 9, 7, 21, 114, 14, 3, 21, 1, 36, 33, 48, 4, 23, 143, 72, 58, 0, 30, 23 [740 runs @ 33.64] = Tom Fell - Srihari got it correct!
The scores after round one are= Balladeer 2, Srihari 2 & jjp 1

Hooray! Maybe make the thread one for more general quiz questions? Sri loves these sorts of thing.
Alright, I'll have a shot. Number 1 - Keaton Jennings? Number 4 = Jonathan Bairstow, natch (EDIT: beaten to the punch). And I'll guess number 3 as being Karl Brown.

I know my quizmaster. I'll have a couple of slightly wilder guesses, then. Player 2 - I'll go for Jack Shantry (looks like someone down the order with those two low-scoring NOs, and there's a sharp drop-off midway through). 5, no idea. Nick Compton.

I actually guessed number five, but checking the statistics he turned out to be number 2! Oh well. Since I checked my answer, I'll let somebody else get it.

I knew you'd think he was there, I wasn't going to have him but then I decided I had too. Oh, and he's now out in the first round of this quiz so i can't use him again

So, there's an affirmation that 2 is Nick Compton.
I'll have a guess of Scott Borthwick for number 5.

I'm gonna say five is Tom Fell, only because A. I was thinking who got his highest score this season and remembered it was against Middlesex. B. I also remember because I was going to make bad joke that Fell fell after his highest score, when he scored.

sorry about the delay. Because it is you, I presume Chris Cooke will be on the list and since I know he is none of the others, I'm gonna go Cooke for No.2
