England pacer Ollie Robinson set an unwanted record by conceding the second-highest number of runs in a single over in First-Class cricket during an English County Championship match, that took place between Sussex and Leicestershire on Wednesday.
Robinson gave away 43 runs in an over that included three fours and five sixes. Moreover, he also bowled three no-balls, each of which was hit for a four by Louis Kimber. This is the most expensive over in County Championship's history.
Ball 1 - Six
Ball 2 - Six (one run for no-ball)
Ball 3 - Four
Ball 4 - Six
Ball 5 - Four
Ball 6 - Six (one run for no-ball)
Ball 7 - Four
Ball 8 - Six (one run for no-ball)
Ball 9 - One
Kimber's achievement is undoubtedly the highest number of runs scored by a batter in a single over of English first-class cricket.
In 1998, Surrey's Alex Tudor conceded 38 runs in an over to Lancashire's Andrew Flintoff — a record that was matched earlier this week by Surrey’s Dan Lawrence off the bowling of his England teammate Shoaib Bashir.
