I would rather get my minimal runs in a few overs than one chap at my club, who in one game faced 97balls and got a grand total of 9 runs. Safe to say we lost the game and I got very bored watching
This reminds me of my time as a nipper, when I regularly played Sunday 2's cricket, which was mostly friendly matches, with the odd cup game. I always looked forward to one particular away friendly because of what happened the first time I went.
The opposition skipper must have been in his sixties and was rather well, rotund. So big in fact that his whites didn't fit him anymore, he had removed the drawstring and his wife had sewn in an elastic patch into the bum of his trousers for some stretch.
He opened the batting and amassed a mesmerising 13* from 40 overs, including numerous times where he turned down an extra run because his trousers had fallen down!
