Elvaston CC’s fourth XI have claimed an unwanted footnote in cricket history after they scored just nine runs in a Derbyshire league defeat to Risley CC’s second XI.
To make matters worse, seven of Elvaston’s runs came from extras – five leg-byes and two wides – with only their opener, Will Hobbs, actually getting on the board by scoring two runs. Nine of his teammates were out for a duck, with Blake Hall preserving his wicket but failing to score a run.
