Two weeks ago - the last game we played - was a good win for the Popped Collars. Individual performances within the game varied, and Dan was unfortunate to come away with some less-than-optimal bowling figures. In reading out the stats following the game, rather than offer quiet words of condolence (or just saying nothing) Gareth decided to point out just how s**t the figures were.
His comment apparently "didn't get the reaction [he] expected", and Dan sought revenge.The question was asked: What are Gareth's worst ever bowling figures?
On 6 occasions, G has come away with more than 40 runs off 2 overs. His worst ever is 1/47. Yes, there's a wicket - meaning he went for 52 runs off 15 balls. His first over (and the first over of the match) brought 0/31. Through two overs, he was hit to the back net 6 times.
Gareth actually had to bowl a 3rd over in that match as well - adding 15 more runs to his match tally of 1/62 off 3 overs.
As a side note, this was during the brief period where I was also recording who took catches and affected run-outs. It was me who took the catch to give Gareth his one wicket that game... you can thank me later, G.

Shame you weren't recording those who dropped catches as well, X...
ReplyDeleteOnly six occasions over 40 in how many games doesn't sound like too bad an effort.
The amount of s&%t that is about to be posted will no doubt put this performance in the shade...
