Sussex had set a frightening goal of 464 runs after declaring their second innings on 296-6. Leicestershire have been struggling at 144-6 when Kimber entered the crease and began hitting boundaries, rapidly reaching his half-century.
In the course of the 59th over, bowled by Robinson, Kimber unleashed a barrage of photographs, smashing ‘two sixes and 6 boundaries’ whereas Robinson overstepped 3 times.In County Cricket, no balls end in a two-run penalty, resulting in an costly nine-ball over, reported Reuters.
Kimber reached his century with a boundary, and even when Robinson tried to alter his angle by coming across the wicket, the batter remained unstoppable. He broke the report for essentially the most runs scored off an over within the County Championship‘s 134-year historical past.
Simply two days prior, Shoaib Bashir had conceded 38 runs in an over throughout a county match between Surrey and Worcestershire. He could also be relieved that his England teammate has now taken his place within the report books.
Remarkably, Kimber was not even on the crease when the day’s play started. He went into lunch unbeaten on 191 off simply 92 deliveries, with Leicestershire requiring one other 89 runs to safe victory.
