Zaid Mir’s dubious record

Karachi: A Pakistani fast bowler has set a unique record of sorts in a Twenty20 domestic cricket tournament when he conceded 30 runs without bowling a single legal delivery.

In a match of the Shaheed Benazir Bhutto T20 memorial tournament earlier this week, Port Qasim pacer Zaid Mir had to be taken out of the attack after he failed to bowl a single legal delivery with his bowling figures reading 0-0-31-0 (10 nb).

“Fast bowler Zaid Mir was asked to bowl and he sent down 10 successive no balls resulting in 10 free hits to the batsmen who scored 31 runs off them,” a scorer in the match said. — PTI
