These days the test season is going on in international cricket. On one hand, England and Sri Lanka teams are clashing with each other, while on the other hand there is a clash between Pakistan and Bangladesh. Along with this, the county cricket season has also started in England. That is, the days of long format patient cricket are going on but in this too every batsman and team tries to score runs. The pace of runs can definitely be slow but no matter how slow one bats, it has never been heard or seen that only 4 runs are scored after playing more than 200 balls, but in this generation of T20 cricket, this scene was also seen, that too in England, where a father-son duo crossed all the limits of slow batting.

This match was not played at any international or first class level, but was seen at a very local level, which is now getting as much attention as any international match. England's county club Derbyshire organizes its own cricket league, in which teams compete in different divisions. One such match was played in Division 9 South, in which the Third Eleven of Mickleover Cricket Club and the Fourth Eleven of Darley Abbey Cricket Club competed.

You would not have seen such a scorecard

In this match, Mickleover batted first and scored 271 runs in 35 overs for the loss of 4 wickets and declared. From his side, Max Thomson played an innings of 186 runs in just 128 balls, which included 17 fours and 14 sixes. Still, after the match was over, this innings did not remain in discussion, rather the headlines were stolen by Ian Bestwick, who batted for the entire 45 overs of the team and faced 137 balls but he did not even open his account and returned unbeaten. Not only Ian, but his son Thomas Bestwick also tried his best not to score any runs and scored only 4 runs in 71 balls. These four runs also came from fours.

Still the whole team was happy

In this way, the father-son duo faced a total of 208 balls and scored only 4 runs. The entire team faced 45 overs and scored only 21 runs after losing 4 wickets, after which the match was drawn. Even after such surprising batting, Bestwick and his team were very happy and the reason for this is also special. It was not that they could not score runs but they had to bat like this deliberately. This innings of his made a lot of headlines, after which while talking to BBC, he told that his team was very young and inexperienced. In such a situation, he did not want to take the risk of losing. He told that after the match there was a festive atmosphere in the dressing room and the whole team was very happy. After this match, Mickleover's team got 18 points and Darley got 3 points. However, both the teams are at the last position in their division.
