BEN Cox’s superb performances for Worcestershire Rapids in the Royal London One-Day Cup this summer with the bat and behind the stumps are reflected in the final averages.

Cox ended as Rapids' highest run-scorer in the competition with 396 and was a model of consistency throughout with crucial and sometimes match-winning contributions.

But he also ended as the keeper with the most dismissals in the entire competition, pouching 18 catches in the nine matches, four more than Derbyshire’s Daryn Smit.

The 26-year-old scored three half-centuries, including a vital 80 against Warwickshire in the final North Group match, and a memorable 122 not out in the semi-final against Kent who were beaten in the weekend final by Hampshire.

Cox ended with an average of 79.20 and his run tally edged past Callum Ferguson (79.20) who scored memorable tons against Leicestershire and Northamptonshire.

The Australian did, however, top the batting averages at 94.25.

But there were impression contributions all down the order with different people standing up to be counted when they were needed.

On the bowling front Ed Barnard was the leading wicket-taker with 16 scalps but Moeen Ali, Charlie Morris and Brett D’Oliveira all made sizeable contributions.

Moeen topped the averages and was also Worcestershire’s most economical bowler in the cup.

Meanwhile, Jujhar Johal picked up three wickets and top scored for Worcestershire Academy in their 90-run Tri-Series loss to Leicestershire at Uppingham School.

Johal finished with 10-1-28-3 as their academy counterparts were bowled out for 190 in 47 overs.

He dismissed numbers three, four and five in the line-up after Ben Attrill removed the openers.

With Riecko Parker-Cole picking up three lower-order wickets, Leicestershire collapsed after being on 86-1 at one stage.

Zahid Kafiat conceded just 10 runs in his seven overs.

Johal opened the reply and scored 25 off 44 balls with four boundaries.

Zain Ul-Hassan (17), Aaron Tomson (15 not out) and Kafiat (12) also reached double figures but the County were dismissed for 100 in 27.3 overs.

Leg-spinner Moh Ahmed (5-36) and Don Butchart (3-29) were the main wicket-takers.
