The List A cricket has been host to many exceptional performances with the bat. Not only at the international stage, but domestic circuits too have witnessed some exceptional heroics with the bat. Many batters have surpassed the 200-run mark in 50-over cricket and it’s fair to say that they produced a superlative effort to achieve the feat and broke and created several records as well.
2 Instances when 43 runs were scored in an over in List A Cricket history
Hitting 6 sixes in an over is an art in itself. Not everyone can achieve this feat but few players have produced the gigantic efforts to etch their name in the record books. However not only 36, but even more runs have also been scored runs in one over. So far only 2 Instances have happened when 43 runs were scored in an over in List A Cricket history. Let’s take a look at that:
Joe Carter and Brett Hampton – 42 runs for Northern District against Central Districts in New Zealand
Northern District batsmen Joe Carter and Brett Hampton recorded the first instance when 43 runs were scored in an over in List A Cricket history. They smashed runs against Willem Ludick. The over started with a four and then a six was hit on the second ball, which was a no-ball as well. The free hit went for maximum as well but it was yet again no-ball and then the batter smashed six on the next ball as well. There was a reprieve for the bowler as the third delivery went for a single. But after that it was absolute carnage as he conceded three more sixes on the next three balls, conceding 43 runs in an over.
