31 runs conceded without a legal delivery hahaha

Poor bloke. Imagine how he would feel. And the bloke who got hit for 77 runs in 1 over.

Crazy stuff.

Why'd he feel bad? He was trying to be hit for runs, should've been happy if anything.

Often wondered what he must've felt like for ol' Bert Vance. Must feel weird deliberately dishing-up runs like that.

ed so hard the first time I read of it though.

. Does anyone think he bowled bad deliberately?

Who? The Pakistani or Vance?

If Vance then an obvious yes.

I remember actually seeing this live on television-

Rana Naved bowling his comeback over to Sehwag- first four deliveries were no-balls hit for fours, and then another no-ball for no runs. He had a decent comeback, ultimately conceding 72 runs and taking three wickets. This horror was ignored subsequently, as Naved soon became a frontline bowler for Pakistan.

I can remember reading that Roger Telemachus bowled four consecutive no balls in Australia's world record (for a few hours) innings score in 'that' ODI against South Africa - I think it was around the 47-48th over though.

Daryl Tuffey had a bit of a nightmare like that once as well, and it was the first over of the game.

Haha yeah, remember that game and thinking "I don't think I've ever seen anyone be more flattered by their figures than that".

Was to become a patter in Rana's ODI career later on.

It's quite amusing to imagine what the outcome of that innings might've been had the free-hit rule been around in ODIs at that time and Pakistan had still bowled 20 no-balls in the innings.

That's an extra 8% or so added to the balls India get, and they get 20 free runs.
