Worst over you've bowled?

Apart from when bowling for a declaration, what would be the most runs you've conceded off an over? I think I bowled my worst - in terms of runs against - and second worst overs of my life yesterday. I'll let you know just how many runs I conceded once I get the feeling that I'm talking to others who know the feeling....!!

I have played in a game when my team mate went for 36 and it doesn't get much worse than that! Myself I think 18 or 20 would be about my wosrt although I try to forget the bad overs.

I've also played in a side where a colleague was hit for 36 (6 sixes - not sure if your version included any wides or no balls). The batsman? Vinod Kambli, previously of India.

1-0-22-1. I shouldve been given another over!

I've never gone for double figures off an over as far as I remember.

In that case you truly are a cricket demon, Cricket Demon.

I went for five consecutive fours once - each one off a meticulous line and length...

In my club debut, we batted first and were skittled for 54. I then opened the bowling, and in my first ever over for the club got hit for 19, and was swiftly removed from the attack on the basis that I'd given away over a third of the total we were defending in the first over.

Also got mowed for about 20 off one over on tour a couple of years back. It wouldn't have been so bad, if we hadn't had to spend 5 mins looking for the ball in the undergrowth after each boundary. The over ended up taking about 20 mins (it felt like an hour).
