4,6,6,6,1,6,6,6: New Zealand duo smashes 43 runs in an over for List A world record

Joe Carter and Brett Hampton entered the List A record books as they struck 43 runs off Willem Ludick in a domestic one-day match in New Zealand.

oe Carter and Brett Hampton wrote their names in the history with a scintillating batting display for Northern Districts in New Zealand's domestic one-day cricket match, smashing 43 runs off a single over.

The unfortunate bowler to receive the battering was Central Districts medium pacer Willem Ludick, who not only gave away 41 runs in the over but bowled two no balls to make it worse for himself.

 

In the over of 43 runs, two came from the no balls. Hampton struck 23 runs while Carter scored 18 runs off the last three deliveries.

In the first class match at the Hamilton's Seddon Park, Hampton began the over with a boundary, struck two sixes off two consecutive no ball deliveries, struck another six before taking a single to give the strike to Carter.

Carter made the best of the momentum with Northern Districts and struck three more sixes to take the tally of the 46th over to 43 runs.

This was Ludick's final over of the innings. Ahead of this over, Ludick's figures were 1/42 but it changed to a massive 1/85 in a matter of eight deliveries.

"It was right at the end and I suppose it was a 'see ball, hit ball' scenario," said Hampton.

"We got a couple of free no balls which helped us to get going. We came together (at the end of the over) and said 'how many did we get on that?' I think we said it was 39. We missed a four there."

Carter ended the innings at 102 not out while Hampton scored 95 runs as Northern Districts eventually posted a total of 313/7 in their 50 overs.

For Central Districts, Dean Foxcroft also scored 120 not out but did not get enough assistance from the other side to chase the total. Central Districts could only score 288/9 in 50 overs.

Although batting greats Ravi Shastri and Garry Sobers famously gave Tilak Raj and Malcolm Nash places in cricket's Hall of Shame by smashing six sixes from their overs in first class matches, the world record is by no means clear.

South Africa's Herschelle Gibbs also hit six sixes for a tally of 36 off Netherlands legspinner Daan van Bunge during a 2007 World Cup match in St. Kitts, the most in an international one-dayer.

Ahead of this over, the first class one-day record of most runs in an over belonged to Zimbabwe international Elton Chigumbura, who belted 39 off Alauddin Babu during one over in Bangladesh in 2013.

The 77 runs that former New Zealand batsman Robert Vance conceded during a first-class match against Canterbury in 1990 is discounted became he deliberately bowled 17 no balls in his over. He wanted to entice the Canterbury tailenders to chase a victory in their match against the opening batsman's Wellington side.
