Myles Davis Takes Six Wickets in Six Balls to Seal Penkridge’s League Win

The club believes the burst is among only a few ever recorded worldwide.

Overview

  • Penkridge defended 168 as Pelsall’s chase collapsed from 49-2 to 52 all out after Davis’s six wickets in six consecutive legal balls.
  • The fast bowler removed two batters with the last balls of one over and four more with the first four of his next over.
  • He finished with 7 for 16 in six overs, and Penkridge won the Staffordshire County League match by 116 runs.
  • Davis told BBC Midlands the spell felt surreal, and he said a coworker covered his electrician shift so he could play.
  • Penkridge’s chairman said this may be only the seventh known instance worldwide and possibly the first by an adult male in the UK, with a similar run noted in 2023 by Oliver Whitehouse.
