RELATED – A DECADE OF THE BDCA’S T20 COMPETITION
SAM Johnston is one of five players to have taken at least five scalps in a BDCA Twenty20 game, but he holds the mantle on his own as the competition’s leading wicket-taker.
Through 10 seasons of the T20 format that can often be a case of bowlers being put to the slaughter, Johnston’s 48 wickets rank No.1 in the BDCA competition.
All-rounder Johnston has a 50-50 split of wickets at both Strathdale-Maristians and his former club, Huntly-North Epsom, having taken 24 for both.
Veteran spinner Craig Howard with 44 is the only other bowler with more than 40 Twenty20 wickets – 32 with former club Strathdale-Maristians and 12 with Sandhurst.
Howard holds the record for most wickets in a Twenty20 season with his haul of 13 from four games for the Suns in 2010-11.
In what’s a format where maidens are scarce, there have been just 133 in the competition’s 7820 overs – averaging one every 58 overs bowled.
Only spinners Liam Smith (nine) and Dylan Gibson (six) have bowled more than five maidens.
