In modern day cricket, batsmen have become quite aggressive. When they get a chance, they do not hesitate to hit sixes and fours. But a Namibian player batted so slowly in ODI cricket that a shameful record was registered in his name. We are talking about Namibia's opener Lo-Handre Lawrence, who got out on 0 in 23 balls in the match against Scotland. Lo-Handre Lawrence has become the opener who did not open his account after playing the most number of balls in ODI cricket. By the way, you will be surprised to know that the batsman who got out on 0 after playing the most number of balls in ODI cricket is from West Indies.

Out on 0 after playing the most balls

On 24 September 2006, West Indies batsman Runako Morton did not open his account against Australia. The amazing thing is that he was out on 0 in 31 balls. This player batted for 56 minutes and his account did not open. Apart from him, Zimbabwe's all-rounder Elton Chigumbura also did not open his account in 27 balls. Phil Simmons also could not open his account in 23 balls in 1994.

This view was seen after 15 years

The last time a batsman batted so slowly was in 2009. Now after 15 years, Lo-Handre Lawrence has played such a shameful innings. By the way, after this shameful innings of Lawrence, his team also lost the match. Batting first, Scotland's team scored 290 runs in 50 overs. In reply, Namibia's team was reduced to 235 runs.

Who is Lo-Handre Lawrence?

Lo-Handre Lawrence is a right-handed batsman, he is only 25 years old. This player's ODI record is very poor. You will be surprised to know that Lawrence has scored 578 runs in 25 ODIs at an average of more than 24 but his strike rate is only 59.28. Batsmen have a higher strike rate than this in Test cricket but Lawrence has scored at this strike rate in ODI cricket.
