Chingford All Time Greats
![Chingford Cricket Club](https://images.secure-club.com/clubs/205/images/205_logo.jpg)
The
Chingford All Time Greats are simply the top 10 batsmen and the top 10 bowlers
in Chingford Cricket Club history.
Qualification
is determined by
·
Runs
scored for Chingford and
·
Wickets
taken for Chingford
The
Club website contains scorecards for all elevens going all the way back to the
Club’s founding in 1903, which are complete for many years.
Extensive
work over several years has taken place in terms of:
- Loading every available
scorecard/scorebook we can find to the Club website
- Comprehensive research of the
National Newspaper Archives investigating local papers where Chingford
were the home team and the corresponding local papers for where Chingford
were the away team.
The above research is now
complete but our records are not, therefore the next stage will be to see if
any of our opponent Clubs have archives of old scorebooks that may help plug
the gaps. This work is ongoing and any scorecards
recovered will in turn be added to the website.
Finally, I unreservedly apologise
to anyone whose totals are understated or who is missing from the list.
