Bizarre! Batter No. 11 Gets Bowled With Two Runs Left To Score In County Game

Glamorgan's 2nd XI clinched a thrilling one-run victory over Warwickshire in the County Second XI Championship, with Mohammed Rizvi's 5/88 sealing the win. In a bizarre flow of events, a No. 11 batter of Warwickshire's 2nd XI was bowled out with just two runs needed, as Glamorgan bagged a thrilling one-run victory in the County Second XI Championship on Monday, a video of which has now gone viral on social media. Chasing 514 in the fourth innings, Warwickshire's innings was led by Arjun Singh Nahal's unbeaten hundred from No. 6. England U19 star Hamza Shaikh, Vaansh Lalit Jani and Oliver George Dandy played their part as well with commendable half-centuries. The chasing side was then derailed by a brilliant spell from Glamorgan leg-spinner Mohammed Rizvi, pushing the game to a thriller. Warwickshire, with one wicket remaining, required only two runs to complete a massive chase as Rizvi bowled his 29th over of the innings. Off the last delivery, No. 11 batter, Dhaka-born Arafat Bhuiyan tried a hoick across the line but was beaten in flight, and was bowled. Rizvi finished with a brilliant 5/88, as Nahal's unbeaten 125 off 203 deliveries went in vain. For Glamorgan, their two hundred-scorers were wicketkeeper-batter Alex Horton and the Zimbabwe-born Eddie Byrom. After losing their first game in the Second XI Championship, the victory over Warwickshire helped Glamorgan open their account in Group 3, moving to third, behind unbeaten leaders Durham and Middlesex. Warwickshire have lost two successive games and sit sixth, in the bottom position in the group. First Published: June 27, 2025, 17:52 IST

Miandad recalls his rivalry with Doshi

Cricket has always had its share of fierce battles, but few were laced with as much wit and warmth as the legendary exchanges between ace Pakistan batsman Javed Miandad and former Indian spinner Dilip Doshi who expired in London on Monday. Miandad was overcome with emotions as he paid tribute to his "close friend" Doshi while speaking to recalling with fondness the mischief, banter and friendship that blossomed between the two. "When he used to bowl at the leg-stump, I would start saying 'bow-wow'," Miandad smiled. "When he finally asked what it meant, I told him: 'Only dogs — and you — try to catch my leg!'" It was 1979. Pakistan were touring India, and a young, cheeky Miandad had found the perfect target for his humour in the reserved and erudite Doshi, who was often tasked with curbing the Pakistani batter's scoring. Doshi's response? A mix of frustration and disbelief — enough to prompt complaints to the umpires and even captain Sunil Gavaskar, who, like the rest of the Indian team, couldn't help but laugh. "He was from a very sophisticated, highly educated family — always impeccably dressed, his white kit spotless," Miandad recalled while paying tribute to Doshi. One particular exchange became part of subcontinental cricketing folklore. "I once asked him what room number he was staying in at the hotel. He angrily asked why. I told him, 'I want to hit the ball straight into your room!'" The harmless barbs became a running theme whenever they met on the field — even years later in English county cricket, when Miandad turned out for Glamorgan and Doshi for Northamptonshire. "Even there, I would keep teasing him. But by then, we had become friends," Miandad said. "We met often. He invited me to his house in Kolkata. His wife is also a very kind and decent person." Though the jokes flew thick and fast, Miandad held nothing but respect for Doshi's cricketing prowess. "Doshi Saheb took 114 wickets in 33 Tests — that says everything. He played in an era where scoring was slower; imagine what he could have achieved in today's game where batters take more risks."

The match will be remembered for a spectacular maiden first-class century by Foxes opener Sol Budinger, after Glamorgan's Asa Tribe also achieved the same landmark in the first innings. Glamorgan started the final day on 131-3 after Northeast and Ingram had survived the final session on day serenely added a further 83 in the morning sunshine with few alarms, as Leicestershire were left ruing Rehan Ahmed's inability to bowl because of a side the Kookaburra ball - being used for the first time this season in the Championship - going soft quickly, the key moment was always likely to be the new ball coming five overs after lunch with Glamorgan still four runs behind. The Foxes turned to spinner Liam Trevaskis with the ball still hard, and he induced Northeast to play an aerial attacking shot for the first time with Sam Wood holding a fine catch running back to Glamorgan skipper, who had hit the county's record of 410 not out on the ground three years previously, had faced 274 balls and struck 16 Kellaway was caught at square leg by Wood off Ben Green for 14, and Leicestershire could have had Ingram on 103 only for Logan van Beek to spill a juggling attempt on the square-leg boundary off Green's bowling. Impassioned appeals for close catches against Ingram and Chris Cooke off Trevaskis were turned down and Glamorgan still had five wickets standing at Patel, bowling his off-spin for the first time in county cricket, got rid of the obdurate Cooke for nine. But first-innings centurion Tribe, who had spent much of the match in bed with illness, came in at eight to make 16 not out and accompany the weary Ingram to the who turns 40 at the start of July, batted for more than seven hours, facing 308 balls but striking just 11 fours as he showed his calm temperament and ability to dig in for the long haul.
