Copleston heads the averages

For the second season running Eds Copleston topped the OC batting averages, despite failing to reach three figures during the year. That Copleston and Abeed Janmohamed were the most consistent batsmen bodes well for the future as both are under 25. Of the old guard, Mike Chase scored most of his runs in Kenya and Rick Johnson's tally included his 'flat track' century at Old Georgians.

The bowling was again dominated by the veteran Mike Chetwode who took twice as many wickets as his nearest rival. Will Stephens, Richard Thomas and Nick Read took most of their wickets in Kenya, Graeme Brown's tally included seven against the School and Janmohamed's included his match-winning five against Buccaneers.
