In 1913, a truly unbelievable moment occurred in the long history of English cricket. Huish and Langport Cricket Club faced Glastonbury in what should have been a normal regional fixture. Instead, it became one of the most famous statistical anomalies in sporting history.

Batting first, Huish and Langport suffered an absolute collapse on the pitch. Glastonbury bowler Langford took five wickets for zero runs, while his teammate Mathew took four wickets for zero runs. The final batsman was run out without scoring, leaving the entire team bowled out for zero runs.

Remarkably, Glastonbury then chased down the single required run to win the match instantly. This match remains a legend among cricket enthusiasts as the ultimate batting disaster.
