Guidance for the end of season awards

 This sets out to clarify and provide consistency when implementing applying the criteria for the end of season awards.
For clarity, these constitute:

• Most overall club runs
• Most overall club wickets

In defining what winning ‘the averages’ means - it is not the player who has scored the most runs or taken the most wickets

• Batting average is the total number of runs they have scored divided by the number of times they have been out
• Bowling average is the ratio of runs conceded per wickets taken
• Common practice is to set a minimum number of runs scored/innings completed, overs bowled/wickets.
