Bizarre Bowling Figures

A couple of unusual bowling analyses from East Devon over the last few weeks... can you work out how they happened?

0.1-0-1-2

1-1-1-1

First one he got a stumping of a wide.

Second, he bowled a maiden first over then got a stumping of a wide first ball of his next which ended the game.

Reckon the second the guy bowled a maiden, then had the last man stumped off a wide first ball of his second over?

EDIT Damn spent too much time phrasing that.

The scorer was writting something in binary and happened to cut across the bowling analysis section?

One of my life's ambitions is to get the 2nd set of figures.

Or, better still, 2-2-2-2.

I've got nfi how the second one works out, unless it involved him bowling part of an over for an injured player. ie. Player 1 bowls two dot balls and gets injured. The player in question then bowls 4 dot balls, and gets attributed with a maiden (though I would think that that wouldn't happen). Then he comes back on later, bowls two balls, the first one concedes a run, and the second ball gets a wicket to finish off the innings. Doesn't seem to make sense scoring wise, but it's the only thing I could think of.

I think this happened somewhere - it definaltely could - 0-0-8-0 (bowler comes on for his first over bowls a no ball which costs two, it goes for six and it wins the match)

For that second let of figures... did the bowler bowl a wicket maiden in his first over, then bowl a no-ball off the first ball of a second which ultimately won the game for the opposition? Only thing I can think of.

Wicket maiden, and then a run out from the first ball of the second over, which was also a no-ball.

Gah, of course. How silly of me.

I bowled 2-0-36-0 this year. :ph34r: Some lad en route to 164* in a school seconds game (out of a total of 218 all out) just kept clearing the boundary. TBH I've bowled much worse than that game several times this year.

I've had a spell of 2-0-37-0 against some Durham 15s opener or something like that, doesn't bother me that much itbt.

Also 1-0-21-0 last year in a cup semi-final, but that was seriously poor bowling. I began with a double bouncer that got no-balled and was hit for four, followed by a waist high full toss which disappeared over some buildings for six. Then I bowled my stock legbreak, which was smashed back over my head for another six.

I should have had a stumping actually as well, but the keeper was probably expecting another maximum.

I got hit for 3 6s and a 4 in an over against Calverly once, ironically I should have clean bowled him first ball of the over through a defensive.
