We have run this year's scorebooks through OpenAI's latest model, and here is the "team of the year" based on performances in Timed Games and T20 matches, and comments from match reports.
1. Guy Ladenburg – Strong batter with 416 runs and bowler with 28 wickets.
2. Dave Henderson – Leading run-scorer with 453 runs.
3. Adam Jay – Over 230 runs and consistent across formats.
4. Dave Mann – Top T20 run-scorer and highest batting average.
5. Steve Blackburn – Attacking batter, with batting average of 40 in T20.
6. Neil Wood – Leading wicket-taker in both formats.
7. Dave Turner – Reliable bowler with 14 wickets in Timed games and contributions in T20.
8. Gerry Northwood – Took 4 wickets in T20, consistent in bowling.
9. Lee Gray – 10 wickets and contributions with bat and fielding.
10. Ed Hands – More than 10 wickets and a mercurial cricketer.
11. Paul Bailey – 11 fielding contributions, and the leading wicketkeeper.
Reserves:
Jim Morris – Reliable batsman, contributed consistently in both formats.
Muhamed Ali – Strong performance with 3 wickets for 1 run, but batting susceptible on first ball.
It's an experienced 11 with only 3 players Under 40. Any surprises?
