Fred Huskinson took 3 for 3 (all off one over) and John Goddard took 7 for 0. It was reported on the back page of that day's Evening Standard with the headline: 'Rugby internationsl takes 3 for 3'. Goddard wasn't mentioned in the article!Paul Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18029689894652227263noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7251157054005755258.post-43574637554188469922008-05-30T12:21:00.000+01:002008-05-30T12:21:00.000+01:00talking about low scores this reminds me of a stor...talking about low scores this reminds me of a story i read about a match between Bushey CC and Watford boys....never say never<BR/><BR/>For the greatest comeback of all time however, it is hard to beat the match played between Bushey and Watford Grammar School in 1959. Bushey, the home side were bowled out for 30 without a single player reaching double figures. No doubt Watford Grammar would have been confident of victory and none more so than when their opening batsmen had moved the score onto 24-0. Bushey though somehow managed to turn the game on its head from this point, bowling their opponents out for only a further 5 runs to claim victory by a single run. Bowler Robin Leach took 7 for 3 in five overs and finished with figures of 7 for 10. A lowly school game this fixture may have been, but it is hard to imagine a more emphatic turnaround in fortunesAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02646418731522723036noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7251157054005755258.post-53598654414428045562008-05-29T18:38:00.000+01:002008-05-29T18:38:00.000+01:00For many years in the main bar of the clubhouse al...For many years in the main bar of the clubhouse all of the contributors to this thread use regularly, there was on display a scorebook page dating back 50 or so years showing two bowlers in an innings bowling throughout, one taking 7 for 0 and the other (who I think was the England rugby international Fred Huskisson) 3 for 3. I don't remember if there were any extras, so don't remember what the total was. I don't know whether it's still there, but if not I'm sure if you ask one of the older members (PDN or DAAS?) they'll remember the details.Peter Lambhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01316786398580772598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7251157054005755258.post-49102883543472170132008-05-29T11:29:00.000+01:002008-05-29T11:29:00.000+01:00The Bermuda women's team were bowled out for 13 an...The Bermuda women's team were bowled out for 13 and lost to South Africa within 4 balls of the reply which was a pretty special effort.<BR/><BR/>I remember my school team being bowled out for 13 as well when I was about 10 or 11 years old.

Other memories of this one are that as captain I'd taken my team out of the tea room and into the changing room to deliver a pep talk after a fielding performance which grew in hindsight and stature as the batting progressed. I've never given a pep talk again (for pep talk actually read a rollicking).<BR/>An oppo. quick bowler with one of the world's bentest arms tok 9fer and bought a party 7 (big can of rubbish beer for the younger readers)as there was no bar at the ground - why were we there ?Mark Davishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16130747656088482338noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7251157054005755258.post-62580832533650761292008-05-29T09:03:00.000+01:002008-05-29T09:03:00.000+01:00I stand corrected - 17 all out sounds fairly compe...I stand corrected - 17 all out sounds fairly competitive now!Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08830695119125760799noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7251157054005755258.post-76291476413658209892008-05-29T08:20:00.000+01:002008-05-29T08:20:00.000+01:00Oh yes!

I can remember playing in a team with a fellow member of the Burble Team when we reached the dizzy heights of 0-7, that is no runs for seven wickets. We all cheered when we scored a boundary with a perfect reverse cow shot (that is through the slips). I think we recovered to 13 all out and we considered this to be an unlucky number as we lost.GROVhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13437435668211377714noreply@blogger.com
