Matt Siddall Match Figures Confirmed As New Record!

Cumbria slow left-armer Matt Siddall’s match figures of 14 for 208 in the defeat by Buckinghamshire at Chesham in National Counties Championship Eastern Division Two have been confirmed as a record for the county.

Pace bowler David Halliwell had been credited with taking 14 for 92 for Cumberland against Suffolk at Carlisle in May 1986 but detective work by Chris Gore, Cumbria’s handbook editor, has now revealed that he was erroneously credited with an additional wicket.

Gore’s research shows that David Lloyd, the former Lancashire and England batter and now broadcaster, was the bowler who took the wicket of Suffolk wicketkeeper Nicholas Crame in the second innings

Scorecards, including the one in Cumberland’s 1987 handbook, had shown Crame as being dismissed c Lloyd b Halliwell 0 when it should have been c Halliwell b Lloyd.

Halliwell’s second innings bowling analysis has now been amended to six for 51 and his match figures to 13 for 92 confirming Siddall as Cumbria’s record holder.
