Class figures for Pollock. Cric Info are of course as prone to human error as anyone, but that is slightly bizarre.

For him to average 157 at a strike rate of 27, he'd have to give up like 32 runs per over .

 

[Lillian Thomson]

For him to average 157 at a strike rate of 27, he'd have to give up like 32 runs per over .

........and considering he took 4233 wickets, even if he bowled the maximum 10 overs per game he would have to have taken at least 3 wickets per over.

[andyc]

They also got his batting and bowling averages mixed around in the first table.

"Mustard fell in the same manner one over later, as Jesse Ryder took a comfortable catch in the deep to calm his nerves to calm his nerves on debut, but Pietersen clipped his first ball through square leg for four to maintain England's tempo.:

That's a fair mistake though, seeing as virtually no one at CricInfo would care about a University "first-class" cricket match, let alone the University players. They'll sort it out eventually, but such are the demands of live scoring.

 

[Arjun]

They seem to have fixed that error. Nothing strange about this...

I wasn't suggesting it was a grievious error TBH, just that it was rather amusing that they should be, even (I presume) for a short time, unaware of the reason for a wicket - while being aware of subsequent ones.

So I posted it.
