Lewis Kimber hits 43 runs in 1 over of Ollie Robinson: Everyone knows that cricket is a game of uncertainties. The latest case has come from first-class cricket where England fast bowler Ollie Robinson conceded 43 runs in a single over. He holds the prestigious record of bowling the second most expensive over in first-class cricket history. This record was made by a mischievous batsman named Lewis Kimber of Leicestershire by washing him out. When Ollie Robinson was playing for Sussex.
How was the record made?
Robinson, a 30-year-old right-arm bowler, has played 20 Tests for England with his debut in 2021. Playing for Sussex at Hove, he scored 43 runs off 9 balls to complete his over in a Division Two match against Leicestershire. Lewis Kimber scored 43 runs off Robinson with the help of 5 sixes (off 3 balls), 3 fours and a run. It was the 59th over of Leicester's second innings when Kimber was playing on 72 off 56 balls. Leicester set Sussex a target of 446 runs. At the end of Robinson's over, Kimber reached 109 off 65 balls.
There was a rain of fours and sixes in one over of Robinson
Robinson came to bowl the 13th over, in which a total of 43 runs were scored with 6,6,4,6,4,6,4,6 and 1 runs. He bowled 3 balls in this over. In this way, Robinson also broke the record of scoring the most runs for England. He broke the previous record of 38 runs in 1 over of Test fast bowler Alex Tudor.
When 77 runs were scored in 1 over in 1990
The most expensive over in first-class cricket history was bowled in 1990. New Zealand's East off-break bowler Vert Vance conceded 77 runs off 17 balls in that over during a Shell Trophy match between Wellington and Canterbury.
