Cooke and Hogan top the averages, whilst Wallace is the country's leading keeper

26 Sep 2014 | Cricket
Following the end to the 2014 LV=County Championship season yesterday at the SWALEC Stadium, Glamorgan's first-class averages for the summer have now been published.
Chris Cooke finished the summer on top of Glamorgan's first-class batting averages with the man who scored his maiden hundred against Kent at Canterbury ending the year with 870 runs at a healthy average of 43.50. Will Bragg also ended the summer with the highest aggregate amassing 1008 runs at an average of 36.


On the bowling front, Michael Hogan enjoyed another stellar season with his tally of 63 wickets in first-class cricket at an average of 19.55 runs apiece placing him amongst the season's best performers. Had he not returned to Australia in May on paternity leave, the fast bowler would surely have aggregated over 100 wickets across all formats.


Mark Wallace, who ended the summer in sight of 10,000 runs in all first-class cricket also ended the 2014 season as the country's most successful wicket-keeper in Championship cricket. The Glamorgan captain claimed 68 catches in the four-day competition, six more than his nearest rival, Warwickshire's Tim Ambrose.


As fa as all-rounders are concerned, Jim Allenby yet again stood tall with his aggregate of 969 runs in first-class cricket at an average of 35.88 plus a career-best tally of 54 wickets at just 20 runs apiece, to say nothing of his outstanding efforts in the limited overs games and a Twenty20 hundred against the Middlesex Panthers, made him the most successful of all the all-rounders in county cricket during 2014.
