Rutledge leads
The young St Albans wicket-keeper, Paul Rutledge, has a long lead in the Lion player of the season contest in senior cricket. His present advantage is brought about partly by further additions to the scoring system. Wicket-keepers who dismiss four or more batsmen in an innings receive a bonus of 50 points, to keep them in line with a batsman scoring a century or a bowler taking six wickets. Rutledge in the first round had five victims in one
innings, four in the second. Similarly, fieldsmen who take three or more catches in an innings will be credited with a bonus of 25 points. The only player to qualify for this so far is Richard Leggatt (Old Collegians). The leaders after Saturday’s, play are: 330 Rutledge, 252 Vaughan Brown, 177 Gary MacDonald, 169 Leggat, 144 Ashley Hart, 142 David Dempsey, 132 Dayle Hadlee, 117 Bob Carter, 115 Geoff Miller and 110 Andrew Nuttall.
