COLIN INGRAM (GLAMORGAN) – 61%

1,267 runs, average 90.5, five centuries

The man they call the king in Sophia Gardens.

Although Sam Northeast had stolen the spotlight early in the season, not least with his record-breaking 335* at Lord’s in April, South African veteran Colin Ingram overshadowed his skipper and everyone else in Division Two with a stellar season.

At 39, his best unbeaten 257 against Leicestershire last month was his fifth century of the campaign and will live long in the memory, although he also passed 50 in four of Glamorgan’s past five matches to become the leading run-scorer. both divisions.

DAVID BEDINGHAM (DURHAM) – 75%

1,265 runs, average 79.06, six centuries

The Division One leading points-scorer was easily the most popular choice this year, hot on the heels of a huge career-high score of 279 and the highest score in Durham’s first-class history against Lancashire earlier this month.

The 30-year-old South African international has consistently produced every time he has come into the crease, including a remarkable run of four consecutive centuries in May.

David Bedingham topped the batting charts with more than 150 runs despite playing at least three fewer matches than any other player who made it into the top 10, hitting the highest number of boundaries and making the most centuries with six.

JORDAN COX (ESSEX) – 52%

918 runs, average 65.57, four centuries, two half-centuries

It’s been a big year for Jordan Cox, who’s excellent domestic form earned him his first England international Test squad call-up for the series against Sri Lanka in August.

The 23-year-old scored more than 900 runs at an average of 65.57 – the second highest of any player in Division One, behind only run-scorer Bedingham.

Cox has had an impressive first season with Essex after joining from Kent, scoring four hundreds including a double century on his return to the St Lawrence Ground on his way to a comprehensive win in May.
