Jim Laker - 10–53 in 1956 against Australia at Old Trafford
he also look 9–37 in the first innings of the same match; his match analysis of 19–90 remains a record for first class cricket.

Call that cricket?

Where are the fist pumps, the high fives, the bowler racing towards the slips to hug the catcher, the stares at the departing batsman? Where's the Barmy Army singing cheerio?

Didn't see any beer glass snakes in the crowd, either......

Mind you, I did like the square leg umpire having a sit down whilst one of the batsmen was walking off.
 
Most runs conceded in an over is an incredible 77
0 4 4 4 6 6 4 6 1 4 1 0 6 6 6 6 6 0 0 4 0 1
(including 17 no-balls and only five legitimate deliveries; 2 no-balls not scored off contributed one each, so the over cost 77)

Canterbury v Wellington 1990

Canterbury won the toss and fielded first; Wellington scored 202, and Canterbury replied with 221 for seven declared. In their second innings Wellington then scored 309 for six declared, including 156* from John Aiken. Set 291 to win, Canterbury collapsed to 108 for eight, but Lee Germon and Roger Ford appeared to be holding out for a draw on 196 for eight at the start of the penultimate over of the match. This over was bowled by Robert Vance, who agreed with his captain Ervin McSweeney that if they could give away enough runs then Canterbury might risk their last two wickets going for a win. Vance's over, containing a series of no-balls, cost 77; Germon scored 70 of them. During the mayhem the umpire lost count of the number of legitimate deliveries bowled, and called "over" after only five. The scoreboard operators also lost track during the over, so that as the last over of the match began no-one on the pitch knew the score. It later transpired that the Canterbury score had been 290 for eight as the last ball (which Ford did not attempt to score from) was bowled. Germon was on 160*. The match was drawn with the scores level.

What a great day today at the Rose Bowl. Abbot gets 9 wickets for 40 against league leaders Somerset. Then Hants reduced to 60 for 6 before Vince scores a superb 102 not out to put them 230 ahead at close of play. Great day out followed by a couple of excellent pints at the Railway in Ringwood

Make that 6 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thats 15 in the match so far. Only 2 Hampshire players have ever done that before, and get this - they have all been against Somerset - back in 1898 and 1920 so i am told !!!!
 
He's 16/83 at the moment. Will probably need to snaffle at least one more to get the record unless they take him off.
 
When you think how long county cricket has been going, this is even more remarkable.

I’ve heard the chap fifth on the list was pretty handy. BTK can you confirm?
 
And his 25 last night / this morning helped add 120 - the difference between a target of 160 and one of 280. He took some blows from Craig Overton along the way. Good interview with him on the Hants website last night.
 
The most remarkable two days of cricket I have ever seen. Take a bow Kyle Abbot. All those Somerset fans were very quiet this afternoon. Brilliant.

Judging by this quote I think Abbot's on the same page...

“Would I prefer to finish third or spoil Somerset’s party? I wanted to spoil the party by a long way,” Abbott said. “They celebrated against us at the One-Day Cup final so we wanted to give them some hard work for next week against Essex.”
