As mentioned in Your 2013 Season, a guy making his debut for us yesterday opened up the bowling and managed to send down 14 wides accompanied by 6 dot balls for a 20 ball over! Safe to say this was pretty memorable and as I was keeping it gave me a good chance to warm up for the innings! He did end up with 0-23 off 5 so not a bad comeback considering.
I was just wondering what the longest overs people have seen in their cricket? 20 is the longest I can remember with the previous worst 15

23 ball over indoor 2 no balls went over batsmen and keeper

Wow he must have really been desperate to avoid the no ball for pitching too short.
Any outdoor efforts?
Also wondered if anyone had any other memorable stories of debutants at their clubs??

Well he was a very good bowler just got yips and I was scoring but ran out of space to put wides

Once played a T20 where they needed 29 of the last over, the skipper through the ball to a part timer. A dozen balls later the bowler was wheeling away taking his shirt of celecratinhng with the batsman only getting a single of the last ball to score 27 in the over. Most of the runs were not of the bat and it was genuinely the worst over I have ever seen!

About fifteen years ago we played a University game at Liverpool in boiling heat - maybe 30 degrees. They had two Indian state pklayers opening the batting and ran up well over 350 in 60 overs.
Exhausted, we were four down for not many with one over to go before tea when they offered their keeper the chance to bowl.
My recollection is that he bowled ten back foot no balls before bothering to ask, then sent down about a dozen wides. I do recall his figures were 1-0-45-0....
And we still lost by over a ton...

45 off an over will take some beating

How on earth did they bowl a ball for six?? :o
-
Possible no ball hitting a helmet behind the keeper, am sure that would be a six.

that would be 6 runs but not a 6. i think hes refering to the fact the bowler lobbed it for 6. your either playing on some u12 boundaries or he should be put down for being that bad. i was keeping last year and one of our bowlers beamed me standing back, when for 4 but no way near a 6.
longst ive seen is about 18-19 balls i think. i faced 12 for the first over of the game on saturday!

19 balls to complete 0.3 overs before a 'back injury' forced him out of the attack..can't imagine what it would have finished up at if he had continued!

I kept to a guy bowl a 14 ball over, he went from the 3s, to the 5s and back to the 2s once he got over the seam bowling yips by turning himself into an off spinner, all over the course of a season!
