Yorkshire South Premier League: Averages, Table and lead performers

Muhammad Saeed-Anwar

How are cricket clubs doing so far this season in the 4 Probate & Wills Yorkshire South Premier League?

Who’s leading the batting and bowling averages? What have been the surprises? Who’s challenging for the title and who’s nervously eyeing a relegation scrap?

Thanks to the league Chairman Roger Pugh for this statistical feast and Kirsty for the accompanying photos; it’s now my job to tease it all apart.

The team to beat is Doncaster Town who have been out in front for some time – which is in itself unexpected, given the dominance of Wakefield Thornes in recent years.

Duncan Heath (Doncaster Town)

No-one ever won a title for half a season but this is shaping up to be a fascinating second portion of the 2019 campaign and there are at least four teams who’ll be backing themselves to knock Doncaster Town off top spot.

The leaders will be banking on the former Pakistan under-19 international Aamir Jamal to continue his form with the ball alongside Duncan Heath.

Meanwhile, Wakefield Thornes have had success with their slow left-armer signings in recent years and in Satyajeet Bachhav, they seem to have a matchwinner.

Perhaps one theme emerging is how close matches have often been so far in the Yorkshire South Premier League. Thornes have triumphed by just 4 runs twice but also lost out to Sheffield Collegiate by 2 wickets.

Harpreet-Singh-Bhatia

Barnsley Woolley Miners’ Harpreet Singh Bhatia (above) is clearly a class act with 195* against Wakefield Thornes and an average of 96 illustrating the threat of the Indian batsman.

Muhammad Saeed Anwar (629 runs and 28 wickets) is proving indispensable at Elsecar but there is quality across the board. Sam Drury at Treeton has already hit two 27-ball fifties this term and 7-35 for Duncan Heath against Tickhill is currently the best bowling analysis so far.

This Saturday is a striking match-up between leaders Doncaster Town who host third-placed Barnsley.

Doncaster emerged victorious away at Shaw Lane earlier in the season but the Griffins have won the last two YSPL encounters at Town Fields.

Wakefield Thornes come up against Elsecar wanting maximum points to keep within touching distance of the leaders. Sheffield Collegiate will hope to shake off the disappointment of two successive defeats when they face Wickersley.
