Published Langleybury cricket records

Selected batting, bowling, partnerships, fielding and team totals from Langleybury’s published records through 2025, with scope and source notes.

Langleybury’s published record sheets preserve a much wider playing history than the first XI’s best-known cup appearances. The club’s records page, reviewed on 2 November 2026, linked 16 distinct sheets, numbered 12–26 and 28, with entries through 2025. This selection reports the club’s figures; it is not a new all-time statistical audit. Club records collection.

First XI: batting and partnerships

Sources: printed page 12, batting and partnerships and printed page 13, season aggregates. Malik’s innings has its own account because the date and some detailed statistics need separate treatment.

First XI: bowling, fielding and totals

Category Published entry
Match bowling B. Davey, 10/8 v Walker Sports, 1957
Match bowling B. Hall, 10/12 v Potten End, 1963
Match bowling P. O’Reilly, 10/43 v Knebworth Park, 1998
Match bowling J. Parker, 9/49 v St Albans, 1986

Season catches C. Spinks, 26, 1990
Team total 563/2 v Middlesex Tamils, 2005
Opponent total Bedmond 11 all out, 1972

Sources: printed page 13, bowling and printed page 14, fielding and totals. The 1957 Davey entry precedes the sheet’s 1961 coverage heading. The printed year is retained here with that discrepancy visible; it has not been silently altered. Paul O’Reilly’s ten-wicket match also has dated newspaper support.

Second XI

Category Published entry
Individual innings C. Spinks, 174 not out v Gerrards Cross, 1999
Opening partnership M. Wiggs and E. Burke, 214 v Amersham Hill III, 1978

Team total 376/3 v Ware, 2018
Victory by runs 191 runs v Tring Park IV, 2024

Sources: printed page 17 and printed page 18. The 2024 entries show that the collection continues beyond the older Pitchero record sets, which ended in 2018.

Fourth XI and Development XI

Team and category Published entry

Fourth XI match bowling S. Carter, 7/36 v Shenley Village IV, 2011

Development XI batting S. Finn, 106 not out v West Herts, 2004
Development XI bowling S. Finn, 5/19 v Roving Reporters, 2003

Sources: printed page 19 and printed page 20. Finn’s entries belong to the Development XI table and should not be reassigned to the first XI.

What the coverage labels mean

The older club information index labels records for the first XI from 1961, the second XI from 1973, the third XI from 1980 and the fourth XI from 1998. These describe the collections’ stated coverage. They are not proof that each side began in those years. Older records index.

An asterisk or the words not out are meaningful: 403 and 403 not out are different records. Opposition names, team suffixes and the distinction between a season aggregate and a single match also need to remain intact. The awards and volunteers article covers another part of the club’s published record.
