In the shortest format of cricket, no bowler has been able to outrun seven players in an innings. Earlier, the record was with Malaysian-based bowler Errol Sopiah, who returned to the Pavilion in 2011 after playing for Somerset in Glamorgan for only five runs. Thanks to this disastrous bowling, Colin Ackerman’s team, Leicestershire, defeated the Birmingham Bears by 55 runs. Colin Ackerman was also named Player of the Match for this outstanding performance.
