LEINSTER TOP LEVEL BATTING AVERAGES (10.11.2026)

As the nights draw in and the thoughts of last summer’s cricket begin to fade, there is no better time to update the cricket record books. In the second in a series on Senior Club Cricket in Leinster from 1919 to the present day, we reflect on some of the more notable batting performances down the years. 

In what might serve as questions in a Club Cricket Quiz this Christmas, we determine who has the highest career average, scored the most runs in a single innings, took part in the highest partnerships, made the most centuries and scored most runs in a single season.

For no other reason than it is now possible with the aid of AI, we also take the Honour Board for Senior Batting (5000 plus career runs) and adjust the ranking based on a weighted average that takes into account the average number of runs scored each season.
