10 strangest scorecards cricket has witnessed

3. Warwickshire vs Hampshire, 1922

Of the many different comebacks we have witnessed in International and domestic cricket, very few can match up to the herculean effort from Hampshire to have won the game despite getting bowled for just 15 runs in their first innings. Warwickshire had batted first and registered 223 runs.

In reply, Harry Howell’s breathtaking five-fer supported by skipper Freddie Calthorpe’s 4-fer saw Hampshire get bundled out for just 15 runs. Hampshire were made to follow-on and what happened next was beyond reason and reality. George Brown’s breathtaking 172 saw Hampshire register 521 runs in the second innings, setting a target of 314 runs for their opponents.

The target was too huge for Worcestershire on the final day and Jack Newman’s 5/53 saw them get bowled out for 158 runs, handing an unbelievable 155-run win for Hampshire. It’s almost a century since this remarkable game happened and it still is revered as one of the finest in county cricket.
