Your highest score / best figures?

[Jack1]

I took a 6-for once, but don't know runs conceded. A friend seems to think I took 7 once, but I'm not convinced. I played in a game where someone took a 9-for. My highest score in a game is 104. Most I've seen someone else get is 187.

8-43 with the ball. In probably over 100 club matches it was only my second five fer. Was pretty surprised I got it

Highest score of 72. One of only 4 fifties

The 72 came in 1st grade and the 8 Fer in 6th grade so make of that what you will. People kept trying to slog me and getting bowled

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

7-29 including a hattrick.
120*

In school cricket, I think it was a 47. Backyard and office competition cricket I think I had a couple of 60s.

I played mostly taped tennis ball cricket. Struck only one half century in my life thats why remember it till today. It was 52 or something. Used to bowl medium pace but don’t remember bowling figures much. It would be four/five wickets at stretch.

I made 30 odd as the night watchman opening the batting on a real stinker of a pitch, took dozen of blows too. Only thing I protected with the bat was wickets and the pads. Other wise 10 or 11.

I was a leggie, who used to rip it a mile. 8-4-6-4 was one performance. 7-0-59-6 (or sort of value) is another. Don't know which to pick. Although the first looks ridiculous, batsmen played me carefully but scored off others. Second, I ripped through the side while my fellow bowlers kept it super tight.

More like Warne. Same build, probably a couple of inches less height, big strong fingers, on overwight category, and can spin it square. Even bowling action looked very similar. I had never seen Warne when i started bowling. I was 15 when I first saw him in SL tour of Aussies in 1992, and possessed the complete action by then.

And this was in Divison 3, lowest level of clubs.

My 6-for was leg spin. Regarding your two bowling performances, cricket can be weird sometimes . Once I took 1-7 off 4 in a t20 final and they just blocked me mostly.

Do you have anything against Marlon Samuels?

Like the ****er a lot.

 

[Chubb]

102, will never forget it.

4-0-13-4 to go with 41*, 1-20 and 48 in a two-dayer, by far my best all-round performance.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

So far I’m the only one to have taken a hat trick.

FUN FACT: all three of these dismissals went via the LBW route, and the umpire was semi-pro

 

[mr_mister]

That is impressive. Your appeals get louder and louder with each delivery?

 

[TheJediBrah]

159, 7/69 (filthy finger spin)

took 5/3 once as a kid before I grew too much and couldn't bowl fast anymore

 

[mr_mister]

159 scored in a helmet or a cap?

 

[TheJediBrah]

Bit of both IIRC

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

The first one I had to appeal…the next two were Yorkers dead on middle stump; I celebrappealled.

 

[mr_mister]

My 8 fer was also bowling spin. Seems all the best bowling figures in this thread have that in common
