In 2001, team selection forms were sent to various WCC life members and players who have played over 50 1st XI games between 1905 and 1999.
Players with the most votes in each category won selection in Warrandyte Cricket Club’s 1st XI Team of the Century.
Team will be announced soon.
Minimum 50 games to qualify.
1s CC = 1st XI Club Champion, Bat A = 1st XI Batting Awards, Bowl A – 1st XI Bowling Awards, P = 1st XI Premierships
As averages in the early century were lower for batting and bowling, a percentage column is added to help compare players in different eras.
This column shows the % difference compared to the average performances at the time.
If a player has +5%, they score 5% more runs or take 5% more wickets than the average player in their time.
Green is more than average, red is less than average.

Dirt says “This is just my team, not the club’s. I tried to represent all eras, and where it was a toss up I selected those that won more 1st XI awards”
