Five all out. Brilliant. It’s been all over the press but in case you missed it, read here.

    This made the news on the radio here this morning. I cast my mind back several years ago around Millicent in South Australia where I spied a local cricket score. The team scored 89 with one batsman scoring 88, sundries totalled one, nine batsmen made ducks and the not out batsman made nought not out.

    Not quite as dramatic as all out for five, granted.

    I captained a school our School team two years ago in the interschool 20/twenty comp and we bowled a side out for 25! and i thought that was tremedously stupid.
    By the way we won the comp underfeated that year! ;)
    Then we went crap the next year which broke my underfeated captaincy record! :(

    I played in a match where we bowled the opposition out for 20 and our frontline bowler was taken off after sending down 5 overs taking 5 wickets for one run. Took us the entire two days to get them out to win by an innings though.

    Perhaps Andrew Flintoff could get some time out in the middle playing for Goldsborough for recuperation. They need him.

    Several years ago we bowled out a side in the local 4th grade competition for 19 in the pouring rain. The plan was to gewt the runs and scarptr down to the pub as quickly as possible. None overs later we were 9/16 and out number 11 batsman, who’s highest score ever was 2, taking block. He got a short ball and closed his eyes and swung.

    The other side never got the ball back. Last we saw it, the ball was sailing over the boundary rope and bouncing on nearby train tracks. He still tells about the shot that won the game & would have cleared the boundaries at Eden Gardens.

    Chicken-feed, all.

    I once captained a house team (age 13). Won the toss batted first and - all out for 11. Ran myself out before I’d faced a ball (to my dying day I’ll be convinced I made it home). We were playing 12 a side as well.

    By the way, I’m sure Goldsborough’s score is not a record. There’s at least one case of a Staffordshire team being bowled out for four byes - see Bernard Hollowood’s ‘Cricket on the Brain’ for the details.

    3. Hammy: Innings total of 20
    4. Warrick Todd:Innings total of 19

    So who is going to post the next number in the sequence that is “The DaDucky Code” ;)

    Okay, I will. And this is an international score. A Slovenian mountain-top village team - all of whom bat left-handed and bowl right-handed - dismissed Poland for 10. This was the Slovenians’ comeback match in 2004 after a 20-year lay-off. Interestingly, three Slovenian cricketers have been on ‘Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?’. The captain has starred on it twice.

    There’s a picture of the team in 1974 on this link:
