Ten cricket ducks on a wet day
July 26, 2006 17:09 IST
It could not get worse for a local cricket team of North Yorkshire. Ten of its players were out for ducks, leaving the team with a total of 5 -- all of which were scored through extras.
It was definitely a day to forget for bottom of the table Goldsborough Second XI in their match against Dishforth.
Interestingly, all the ten wickets fell to catches, each batsman having managed to strike the ball.
Undeterred, the team set about defending their meagre total and snapped up two quick wickets without conceding a run.
Their hopes were dashed, however, when the third batsman for Dishforth, the home side, earned victory for his team through the only runs to come from the bat in the match.
The match is thought to be the lowest scoring game in the 112-year history of the Nidderdale and District Amateur Cricket League in North Yorkshire......It couldn't happen again, could it??
