Leading batsmen

J D Carr topped the batting averages, scoring 1,543 runs @ 90.76, and with a top score of 261*.

Brian Lara posted the highest individual innings score in first class cricket (501*) playing for Warwickshire against Durham at Edgbaston, and also scored the largest number of runs throughout the season (2,066 @ 89.82). He also hit an unprecedented 7 centuries in a period of 8 innings (although the first of these was not achieved in the county championship, but playing for the West Indies in a test match against England in Antigua.
