112-3 is not bad considering the total of 650

Franklin, Ryder and O'brien tho 254-1

The star of that side was Godwin iirc

That looks like my old side that Flem sneakily filled with mediocre NZers
I went and checked the final Season 1 stats to see how they ended up going for you, but I was most struck by Sanga averaging 92 from 15 matches. The absolute madman.

Franklin ended up averaging 40 with the bat but bowled pies all season. Ryder barely bowled but did well when he did (11 @ 24) and eventually got some runs too (1298 @ 46). Mason only played half the games but was basically your best bowler (36 @ 26). So it looks like those guys went okay in general. That above game was literally the last game of the regular season though so maybe you had some different mediocre NZers at the start of the season who eventually got dropped for Mason etc.
