England vs Pakistan Oval 1996?

Just to clarify, England's second innings I think was about 170 odd and atherton and Stewart both scored half centuries.

Just checked, I'm way out.

Faulkner and Schwartz, 1910?

scorecard, Test 111

I also note the huge differences in batting order between the first and second Saffie innings!

Lardy has the last one.

In the recent Ghani shellacking of Zimbabwe in the 5th ODI, the Bots' last 7 batsmen contributed scores of 1,0,0,8,0,0,0 for a shitty combined total of just 9 runs.

This not the worst effort by the last 7 in a JAMODI. Who holds that record?

No one??

Well?

No idea. What about when CV took his 8 for?

Is it this:

or has there been something even worse?

No, the last 7 contributed a healthy 15 in that game.

the recent Ghani game was the Vots worst "last 7" effort in JOAMODIs

Something even worse. That game featured the 3rd worst bottom 7 effort.

Looks like this one is done.

The worst effort in an ODI by the last 7 batsmen was in this match:

FIVE runs:

Pak (43) v WI, Cape Town, Feb 25, 1993 (scores of 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 4*)

I wonder if JtB was at the ground that day?

I can't even raise interest with triv atm. [sigh]

The worst effort in an ODI any cricket forum by the last 7 batsmen members was in this match thread.

FIXED.

Too hard ...

We're down to a "last three Test batsmen to score a century with a beard" level of trivia.
