Few wickets, few runs

Another story from a few games back. Xavier bats with fill-in player Asif. Xavier plays a fairly regular kind of innings, except that he doesn't face many balls, and Asif continually gets run out off the few balls he does face. Xavier ends up with a score of 5, despite only losing 1 wicket himself. The claim is that this is the lowest score made by someone only getting out once.

Here are the highest and lowest scores, sorted by number of wickets lost...

WICKETS LOST	Best Score	Worst Score
TEN	-31, Rian gets "The Nine" (Popped Collars)
NINE	-27, Joel (4Skins)
EIGHT	-5, Rian (Popped Collars)	-37, Dean (Pidge's Coup)
SEVEN	6, Rian (Popped Collars)	-29, Jake (Popped Collars)
SIX	6, Brad (Popped Collars)	-23, Tim (Mal Practice)
FIVE	23, A.Pearson (Popped Collars)	-21, Pete (Take That)
FOUR	29, Julian (Popped Collars)	-13, Ben (Wingmen)
THREE	36, Brad (Popped Collars)	-7, Joel (SNAFU)
TWO	57, Aaron (The Balbs)	-1, Shuddy (Pidge's Coup)
ONE	63, Xavier (Popped Collars)	5, Xavier (Popped Collars)
ZERO	77, Rian (Popped Collars)	12, Chris W (Jug Chasers)

So, hoorah, we have indeed found another record! For better or worse.

Our players certainly seem to be good at getting out a lot while going the slog. I mean, Rian has managed to play several innings where he spent seven and eight balls getting out, but still found time to blast 30-40 runs to get his total score back to just above or below zero.

The record for low score on zero wickets was set in our most recent game. Chris W, playing for the Jug Chasers, faced 14 balls: 2 twos, 1 wide, 6 ones, 5 dot balls. Impressive.
