In a slightly unfair listing the players with the highest number of ducks are shown here. However, to get this many ducks you need to keep returning to the scene of the crime. So are they optimists who feel they are one innings away from a big score? Perhaps.

43 bowlers have managed a fivefer to date, but not one has done it twice.
The bowlers with the best economy rates are perhaps not regular bowlers and are included on the basis of one bowling spell, but some bowlers have still managed to be included despite or because of bowling multiple overs. So we are showing not just the economy rate but also the overs bowled.

Sharing second place with 26 letters are Ittavira Kaithalamattathil from Dundalk and Girish Kumar Thankamani Rajan from Swords.
The longest registered name in leinster cricket so far this season is Lucan’s MEENATCHISUN CHANDRAMAHAN with 29 letters. Good luck fitting that into the scorebook!!
