On the day of cricket, shameful records are made, but in England, you will not be able to believe by knowing. A lower-division cricket team in England’s Middlesex County League set such an embarrassing record, which would be difficult to forget. The 4th XI team of Richmond Cricket Club chased the target of 427 runs, all out for just 2 runs in 5.4 overs. The scorecard of this match has now been recorded in the most embarrassing moments of England’s club cricket history.
This surprising match was played between Richmond CC 4th XI and North London CC 3rd XI team. Richmond won the toss and decided to bowl first, which overshadowed him. North London CC opener Dan Simmons scored 140 runs while batting. The team also scored 92 runs as additional runs, including 63 wide balls. In this way, the North London team managed to score 426 runs.
Pavilion returned to 8 batsmen duck
Richmond’s team, which came out to chase a target like 427 runs, was shattered from the beginning. 8 batsmen could not even open an account. The team’s only run number was made by 4 batsman, while a run met Wide. In bowling, Spotton took 3 wickets for just 2 runs, while his partner Matt Rosan shocked 5 wickets without giving any runs. A fun runout was also seen in this match.
After the 4th XI team of Richmond Cricket Club in the Middlesex County League of England, the club management has now given the real reason for this. Richmond Cricket Club Deputy Chairman and Head of Cricket Steve Decin said that it was a ‘perfect store’ situation in which the club did not have the players of their regular team.
The team could have been out at 0
Steve Decin told The Telegraph that this week we had the availability of players very poorly. Around 40 players were not present in our five male teams. We were already struggling with the team and then seven more players were out. He said that the situation had become such that the captain of the 4th team was preparing the team by calling friends of friends, so that 11 players could be completed on the field. At the same time, Spotton, who has been holding the opposition team for just 2 runs, said that we could only cover them at 0, if a wide and a catch would not have dropped.
