Werner Snyman (Player ID 58504) has powered out a remarkable LMS career.
Debuting in 2013, Snyman has played 770 matches, 214 of which are for “Docs Misfits”, and has crafted some fantastic numbers along the way.
An accumulator and offie by trade, Snyman has been consistent (and consistently good!) throughout his journey.
Let us look.
BATTING – SOLID AS A ROCK
Snyman is not your man if you need a batsman to come in and hit 20 off 8, but he is an incredibly effective run scorer and run chase shepherd.
* Games – 770
* Innings – 729 (bats in 95% of games)
* Runs – 21,247
* Not outs – 328 (1 every 2.2 inn)
* Average – 53.0
* Balls faced – 15,493 (or 3,098.3 LMS overs!)
* SR – 137 (or 6.9 runs per LMS over)
* 50s – 199 (1 every 3.7 inn), top score 89* off 63
Comment: Every time Werner walks out to bat, there is about a 50% chance he won’t be dismissed. In LMS, such stability is a godsend.
His average is fantastic, and he regularly converts his starts into 50s. He is a consistent and quality performer, no two ways about it.
BOWLING – ANOTHER STRING TO THE BOW
As with most LMS Legends, and indeed South African cricketers, Werner can bat and bowl.
Check these numbers to back up his excellent batting!
* Innings – 634 (bowls in 82% of games)
* Overs – 1,689.3 (or 8,448 balls)
* Wickets – 482
* Average – 24.7 runs per wicket
* Econ – 7.03 runs per over
* SR – 17.5 balls per wicket
* 5-fas & 3-fas – 2 x 5-fas, 37 x 3-fas (best bowling 5/12 off 3.3)
Comment: All very good here – under 25 runs a pole, 7 an over, and a wicket every 17.5 balls, these are genuinely good stats and are an excellent undercard to his batting.
WERNER’S BEST YEAR SO FAR
2019 was an EXCEPTIONALLY good year for the big boss:
* Bat: 3,111 runs @ 63.5 – SR 135, 40 x 50s
* Ball: 37 wkts @ 23.9 – Econ 6.71, SR 17.9, 2 x 3wi
Comment: Werner hit 40 x 50s in 92 bats with 43 not outs!
STATISTICAL SUMMARY
All together now:
* Games: 770
* Bat: 21,247 runs @ 53.0 – SR 137 [6.9], 199 x 50s
* Ball: 482 wkts @ 24.7 – Econ 7.03, SR 17.5, 2 x 5wi, 37 x 3wi
Comment: As ever, a +28.3 run gap between bat and ball says all you need to know about Werner.
Congratulations Werner, may 2021 be yet another corker for you mate!
