So the second round is almost concluded and the scoring has been even better than in the first round and much improved from the second round of the 2014/15 season.
We saw the first instance of a team surpassing 400 runs this season (Guyana) and two scores which were just short of the 250 mark (T&T making 246 and Barbados making 243/5d in their second innings) and one score which was just short of the 300 run mark (Windwards 299 when following on). So even though the stats will read as their being only 1 score of 300 and 1 score of 400 and a total of 4 scores of 250 or more, this round was only 12 runs short of having 2 scores of 300, 1 score of 400 and a total of 6 scores of 250 or more (54% of the innings).
Thus far the stats for the 2015/16 PCL season are:
Round-----Total scores of 250 or more-----Total Innings-----% of 250+ scores-----Total Runs-----Runs/innings-----Highest score-----300+ scores-----400+ scores
1-----3-----11-----27.27%-----2190-----199.09-----373-----3-----0
2-----4-----11-----36.36%-----2518-----228.90-----419/9d-----1-----1 (completed with T&T Red Force drawing the match after making 182/4 in pursuit of 298)
Overall while disappointingly the proportion of 250+ scores is still around a third of the innings thus far, encouragingly this is happening from the start of the first two rounds rather than by round 4 as happened last season. If the teams begin to start scoring better by round 4-6 as happened last season then the overall season average for 250+ run scores as a percentage of total innings should be improved upon last season, and perhaps by next season or the season after that we can look forward to more improvements (barring any disruptions).
