Abhishek Nayar bowls a 17-ball over!

[gattaca]

Congrats to him with a new record to his name:hysterical: GUWAHATI: Heard of a 17-ball over being bowled in a competitive cricket match? Yes, Pakistan quick Mohammad Sami did it, in an ODI (Asia Cup) against Bangladesh in July 2004. Surprise of surprises, an Indian bowler managed to match that dubious 'feat' on Tuesday. West Zone's Abhishek Nayar, bowling his first over - 12th of the South Zone innings - in the Deodhar Trophy semifinal at the Nehru Stadium, sent down 10 wides and one no-ball, much to the disbelief of his teammates and the 1000-odd enthusiasts on the terraces. With the new ball swinging, as it does in the first couple of hours at this venue, Nayar started his spell with a beauty. The fullish length ball moved in the air, went through South opener Hanuma Vihari's gate and pegged back his middle and leg stumps. In came South skipper Dinesh Karthik who turned the first ball he faced to fine leg and ran two. Then the horror show began. The next ball beat Karthik's bat as it moved away and umpire Subrat Das called it wide. Maybe a marginal decision. But as far as the next nine wides were concerned, there was no scope for any doubt. http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/sports/cricket/domestic-cricket/deodhar-trophy/Abhishek-Nayar-bowls-a-17-ball-over/articleshow/18939135.cms

Hanuman Vihari was a walking wkt in u-19 WC and looks like he hasn't improved much :giggle:

No. He looked good in brief period he batted, was batting well and looked pretty assured on a tough pitch.

sami 17-ball over was at 140-150 km/hr,but nayar may not be that fast,so his record is amusing

Doing it in a domestic level can be tolerated, but in an international match... something fishy...

sami 17-ball over was at 140-150 km/hr' date='but nayar may not be that fast,so his record is amusing[/quote'] I know.... considering he barely touches 120, it's amazing how he can't even bowl that pace on target :cantstop:
