There are no less than 60 players who have scored more than 300 runs across all leagues and cup [excluding T20 Competitions] so far this season. Ali Hashmi [Lucan] tops the table with 393 at an average of 98.25. He is followed by John Anderson [Merrion] with 723 runs [90.38] and Declan Moore [Ringcommons] with 638 [79.75].
In terms of total runs scored, Conor Fletcher [910] leads the way, followed by Anderson and Moore. Eight players have scored more than 500 runs.
With a qualification of 20 wickets, Muhammed Nurulain Boda [Castleknock] and Richie Hastie [Pembroke] have averages less than 10. Nurulain Boda has taken 43 wickets at a cost of 8.14. Hastie has taken 21 wickets with an average of 9.43. Third on list is Ian Dent [Clontarf] with 29 at 10.07.
In terms of wicket takers Nurulain Boda is well out in front with the next best Cian Mulvaney [North County] on 33 and Tom Stanton [Merrion] on 32. They are the only three players with 30 or more wickets of the 33 who have taken 20 or more.
When it comes to economy rates there is a slight shift in the order with Hastie [2.68] the only player below 3 runs per over in 74 overs. Nurulain Boda has bowled 114 overs with an economy rate of 3.07 and Dent 93 overs at 3.12.
No wicket keeper has 20 dismissals yet but the two closest are Nicolaas Pretorius [Phoenix] on 19 and Michael Lewis [Merrion] on 18. The latter has the highest number of stumping in the OC at 11.
One might have expected that with rather demanding thresholds [300 runs / 20 wickets] that there would not be too many all rounders in the table. In fact there are 11 and they are set out in the table below based on the standard points conversion [Run = 1, Wicket = 20]. There are three players who have amassed over 1000 points so far this season.

Finally, the averages obviously can only be properly compared when one takes the standard of competition into account. The two tables below set out the mid-season averages for the top six OC leagues. The remaining leagues will follow tomorrow.
Batting [threshold 250 runs]
Bowling [threshold 15 wickets]
