Statistics definitions and missing data

Mat = matches with a recorded innings in that discipline; Inns = recorded innings; NO = not out; HS = highest innings (* means not out). Batting Avg = runs per dismissal; batting SR = runs per 100 balls. 50s excludes centuries; 100s includes all scores of 100 or more.

Bowling Runs excludes byes and leg byes where the source does. Avg = runs conceded per wicket; SR = balls per wicket; Econ = runs per six balls, including historical seasons with different over lengths. 5W = innings with at least five wickets; BBI = best innings, by wickets then fewer runs conceded. Balls are deliveries, not decimal overs.

— means unavailable or undefined, including a zero denominator. Rates requiring balls are omitted if any innings is missing its ball count. Historical boundary and ball counts may be incomplete. Tests and figures for other teams or competitions are excluded. Full methodology

The Worst Opener in County Championship History
The Only Quadruple
In August 1906, Yorkshire all-rounder George Hirst produced what remains the only “quadruple” in first-class cricket history: scoring a century in both innings and taking five wickets in both innings of the same match. Against Somerset at Bath, Hirst made 111 and 117 not out before claiming 6 for 70 and 5 for 45, finishing with 228 runs and 11 wickets as Yorkshire won by 389 runs.
