Kyle Quartermaine in action - highest score by individual in 2015
No idea who took the picture but it's a good one.

Now that the award season is well underway, it’s only right that the winner year’s most valuable century is named. 

It’s a bit unfair to call it the most valuable of course as all centuries are valuable to a team’s cause and also, who is to say that the person who’s century amounted to the highest percentage of his team’s score that day was in fact the most valuable in terms of the situation of the game?

Anyway anyone who scores a century deserves some form of praise and of the 47 that were scored in Pembrokeshire league cricket this year, the person who had the highest percentage in terms of scoring his team’s runs was none other than Luke Murray of Pembroke Dock. His innings of 151 amounted to 76.65% of his team’s 197.

It was a brutal innings and sadly I was on the other end of it. Spare a thought though for Nick Daley too. No slouch himself when it comes to scoring runs quickly but he was left virtually redundant as his batting partner smashed the ball to all corners of the ground.

His innings wasn’t the highest individual total however, that accolade went to Kyle Quartermaine of Narberth who smashed 171 not out v Cresselly 2nds, yet out of his team’s 267, his innings only amounted to 64.04% of the score. A paltry effort if ever there was one!

Consider Steve Mills Jnr of Johnston and his innings of 169 v Lawrenny. That score only amounted to 51.37% of his team’s score, placed 24^th in the standings.

He also props up the list as his 100 against Llanrhian amounted to 27.10%

But which was the best and which was the most valuable? Well unless you were there it’s difficult to tell but regardless of which one was and which one wasn’t, it’s better to be on the list than not at all.
