The stage is set for a thrilling five-match test series between India and England, scheduled to kick off on June 20 and wrap up on August 4. Meanwhile, a shocking incident from the County Cricket League in England has sent shockwaves through the cricketing world. A team was bowled out for a paltry 2 runs, with a staggering 8 players failing to score a single run.
In a clash between North London CC and Richmond CC, Middx, the former emerged victorious by a massive 424 runs. According to North London’s play-cricket website, North London CC set a daunting target of 426 runs, courtesy of a blistering 140-run knock by opening batsman Daniel Simmons. The rest of the team, however, failed to reach the 50-run mark.
The hapless Richmond CC, Middx, faced an uphill task while chasing the massive total. Their batsmen crumbled under pressure, and the team was bowled out for a mere 2 runs in just 5.4 overs. The solitary run scored by the team came from Tom Pitridis, with the other run being a wide. The North London CC bowlers, Thomas Spawton and Matthew Rosson, wreaked havoc, with Rosson also claiming a run-out to dismiss Jamie Human.
This stunning collapse has left fans and pundits alike scratching their heads, and the Indian team will be keenly observing the English county league as they prepare for their upcoming tour. The question on everyone’s mind is: can the English teams bounce back from this embarrassment, or will they continue to struggle against their Indian counterparts? Only time will tell.
