Five all out!
Afp, London
An English village cricket team narrowly missed out on one of the worst scores ever recorded after they were bowled out for five, with all the runs coming from extras, newspapers reported Wednesday.Not one single batsman from Goldsborough Second eleven managed to muster a run to their name in the match against league leaders Dishforth, who sent their opponents back to the pavilion in 12 overs. The visiting side's only runs came from four byes and a leg bye in what is thought to be the lowest score in the 112-year history of the Nidderdale and District Amateur Cricket League in North Yorkshire. But Dishforth made hard work of the reply, losing two wickets themselves in the meagre run-chase. The Daily Telegraph said Goldsborough's effort was not as bad as English Midlands side Shepstone's ELEVEN who were all out for four extras in 1931.
