Kent indoor game sees team bowled out for zero

Bapchild Cricket Club is the unfortunate team that managed to make the abysmal record.

In an indoor game hosted by Kent a team is creating ripples for all the wrong reasons. They have endured the dubious fate of being bowled out for zero within a span of just 20 deliveries. That effort makes Australia’s 60 all out at Trent Bridge earlier in the year seem quite wholesome. Not a single batsman from Bapchild Cricket Club was able to get off the mark in the six-a-side encounter against Christ Church University of Canterbury. They can be happy (or disheartened) in the fact that their no-show is not a record. Somerset club Langport was dismissed for a big egg way back in 1913.

So poor was the Bapchild CC performance that even their opponents expressed their dissatisfaction at the event. “We couldn’t believe it, all they needed to do was hit a wall to get one run,” Christ Church player Mike Rose told the Crawley Observer.

As far as team zeroes are concerned, Kent teams have some sort of a propensity towards it. A village team from there called Saltwood CC had bowled out Martin Walters out for a team zero in 1964, reported BBC.

As far as low scores are concerned, it was not very long back when an English club team had managed only three better than Bapchild CC did in this season. Wirrall CC were bowled out for just three runs in Cheshire League Division Three fixture in 2014.
