England pacer Ollie Robinson found himself on the wrong side of history during a recent English County Championship match between Sussex and Leicestershire. In a single over, Robinson conceded an astonishing 46 runs, setting a new unwanted record for the second-most runs conceded in a single over in First-Class cricket history.
The over included a barrage of boundaries, with Louis Kimber of Leicestershire smashing five sixes and three fours. Adding to Robinson’s woes, he bowled three no-balls, each of which was effortlessly dispatched for sixes by the in-form Kimber.
This unfortunate incident highlighted the immense power and skill of Kimber at the crease, as well as the pressure Robinson was under during this particular over. While the incident will undoubtedly be a memorable one for both players, it serves as a stark reminder of the unpredictable nature of cricket and the potential for unexpected outcomes.
