Ric Finlay – Cricket Statistician

Follow @cantbowlthrow

Dennis was very lucky to have Australian cricket’s legendary statistician Ric Finlay to join him.

Ric has been keeping score on the international stage since since 1983.

We talk about:

• How he started as a number cruncher
• How he invented the term “Bat trick”
• How the Germans nearly ruined cricket for everyone
• Fairfax vs the ABC
• Yusuf Pathan
• Frank Woolley’s unique statistical claim to fame
• Wisden
• What is the equivalent of a century in T20?

Finally, he pots another unfortunate soul by choosing them as the winner of the Scott Muller Award for the week
