It’s over and six wickets out
Thursday 26th May 2011, 3:45PM BST.
Shropshire schoolboy Jamie Moir made sure the opposition were bowled over — when he took six wickets in an over.
Jamie, 13, was playing for Shropshire prep school Packwood Haugh against Sedbergh School from Cumbria when he produced his amazing spell of bowling.
The game looked to be heading for a draw when the medium pacer was thrown the ball.
Packwood Haugh had made 212-2 and their opponents had reached 42-2 in their reply.
He then took six wickets with successive deliveries — all bowled.
Coach Richard Herzog said: “I said to Jamie that he’d better try and break their batting partnership — but I didn’t expect him to do it in such dramatic style!
“There was great excitement when he got his hat-trick and when he got five we thought he might get the sixth, but nobody really believed it would happen.
“I’m so glad there was no lbw decision to make as he knocked the middle stump out of the ground!
“The opposition knew they had witnessed something truly remarkable and were generous in their praise and congratulations.”
Packwood Haugh bowled Sedbergh out for 52 after Jamie’s spectacular over to win the game by 160 runs.
