6, 6nb, 4, 6, 4, 6nb, 4, 6nb, 1: England's Ollie Robinson Leaks 43 Runs in an Over, Sets Bizarre Record - WATCH

What’s the most number of runs a batter can score in an over? 36, if all six deliveries are legal; a feat that England captain Jos Buttler recently achieved against USA, guiding his team to the T20 World Cup 2024 semi-final. However, the count may go higher if the bowler ends up bowling some extras while getting hammered by the batter.

A similar instance happened in England’s County Championship match where fast bowler Ollie Robinson registered a bizarre feat as he conceded 43 runs in an over. Playing for Sussex, the 30-year-old bowler was hit five sixes (three off no-balls), three fours and a single by Leicestershire’s Louis Kimber, who was batting on 72 off 56 balls when the contest entered the 59th over of their second innings, in which they were set a 446-run target.

By the time Robinson finished, the right-handed Kimber had galloped to 109 not out off just 65 balls, with Ben Cox being the batter at the other end. His figures for the over read: 6, 6nb, 4, 6, 4, 6nb, 4, 6nb, 1.

Second Most Expensive Over in First-class Cricket

Robinson, who has played 20 Tests for England, thus also reset the record of most runs conceded by an English bowler, surpassing former Test pacer Alex Tudor’s 38-run over in which 34 were scored by Andrew Flintoff in a Surrey versus Lancashire contest in 1998.

The costliest over in the history of First-Class cricket, however, was registered in 1990 when former New Zealand off-break bowler Bert Vance was hammered for a mind-boggling 77 runs during a Shell Trophy game between Wellington and Canterbury in 1989-1990.

Vance, who bowled 17 no-balls in that over, played four Tests and eight ODIs for New Zealand.
