A master at Wellington College Prep School, Eagle House, Richard Parsons was umpiring in a match where the schoolboys under his charge were bowled out for a mere ONE RUN by a rival school. Embarrased rather than irritated, he said to his opposite number between innings, "I'm sorry not to have given your boys much practice. I assure you my chaps are capable of doing better than this." They did. They bowled the entire opposition out for NOUGHT :omg:

Here's another. In 1889, Dr ME Pavri, the captain of Parsis, who later appeared once for Middlesex, decided in advance that team mates would be superfluous. He singlehandedly took on an eleven from Matheran (about 120 kms from Bombay) and scored 52 not out. It was agreed that the home team would not be allowed byes or leg byes. He then proceeded to dismiss them, without the help of any fielders for 38 !!

M.S Dhoni who has a reputation of a beastly hitter and plays mostly in the Slog overs has only scored 44% of his runs in boundaries where as SRT who became an accumulator in the later part of his career has 50% of runs scored in boundaries :hatsoff:. Lala with 62% followed by Gayle with 60% would have been the favorites here but guess who owns them....Viru with 64% :hail:
