Noah, the numbers man
To say that Noah Berry was having a good cricket season would be just about the understatement of the year ... Whilst his first innings of the Wimmera-Mallee season yielded only one run, from then on he has reeled off scores of 131 not out, 54, 59, and 59 not out, with a six-round average of 101!
