OMG: Bowler From Bangladesh Conceded 92 Runs In Just Four Deliveries!

Frustration drives people into doing extremely weird things. An example of it was on display during the Dhaka Second Division Cricket League match between Axiom and Lalmatia which witnessed its second innings get over in just 4 deliveries.

Not because there was an extraordinary batting collapse which set a small target to the chasing side. But, because of a frustrated bowler – Sujon Mahmud – who decided to protest against the umpire by bowling wides and no-balls deliberately.

Discontentment arose during the toss time when the umpires did not allow the Lamatia skipper to see the coin and were sent to bat first without any confirmation. This lack of fairness irked the team, which featured boys falling in the 17 to 19 (age) bracket. The general secretary also backed his boys and supported this style of protest.

Here is how the over unfolded – The Lalmatia fast bowler four balls consisted of 15 no-balls and 65 wides. His four ‘superlative’ legal deliveries were hit for 12 runs. He bowled a total of 32 deliveries in that particular overs wrapped up the match in just 0.4 overs with the opposition walking home with a 10 wicket win, having put up 92 on the scoreboard.

Lalmatia had earlier been bowled out for 88 in only 14 overs, but the team was in uproar at what they believed were unfair decisions from the on-field umpires.

“It started at the toss. My captain was not allowed to see the coin and we were sent to bat first and as expected, the umpires’ decisions came against us,” Lalmatia general secretary Adnan Rahman Dipon told the Dhaka Tribune.

“My players are young, aged around 17, 18 and 19. They could not tolerate the injustice and thus reacted to it by giving away 92 runs in four deliveries.”

The most runs conceded in an over in international cricket is 36 – a six from every ball. The 6 sixes in an over have taken place on four occasions – twice in international cricket and twice in first class cricket.

The most runs off an over in a first-class match are the 77 Wellington’s Bert Vance conceded against Canterbury in 1990.

The first incident of a 6 sixes in six deliveries occurred when South Africa’ Herschelle Gibbs smacked Netherlands’ Dan Vaan Bunge for 36 runs off six balls in the 2007 50 overs World Cup in West Indies. In the same year, Yuvraj Singh posted six 6s off England’s Stuart broad during the 2007 World T20 world Cup in South Africa.
