42 runs in one over in UK
Whether the cricketing world moved a bit from its foundation is unknown, yet the mind really boggled when it had to deal with the stats.
According to the [tag]Yorkshire[/tag] Post an amateur cricketer smashed six sixes, a four and followed it up with a two for good measure.
Whether the [tag]ICC[/tag] will recognise it as the new world record will depend to a large extent on whether the match was an oficial one – anything official in it will suffice.
The best part about it was that the feat was achieved by Jonathan Hughes, 29, from Cookridge, [tag]Leeds[/tag], in just his second innings for his team North Leeds
There may have been mitigating circumstances to the feat – the hapless bowler was a trundling 41-year-old and he bowled two no-balls. If the runs for the no-balls are added the over yielded 44 runs!
They were playing in the Airedale and Wharfedale League’s Waddilove Cup. Hughes ended up scoring a huge 126 not out. The first three balls were hit for a six, and Hughes took two to notch up his ton and then unleashed three consecutive sixes. He ended the massacre with a four.
