Thanks: Gave 15, Got 18 | This will interest cricket fans!
This was taken after our innings about 4 weeks ago.
We were 38-2 after 8 overs! 
It's listed on the Cricinfo website as the 2nd highest score ever in 45 over non-first class cricket.

The highest score on the website( haven't looked yet) isn't by the team you were playing against, is it ..  | |

Actually the opening bowlers bowled ok at the start, and afterwards everyone was too ****** to rib the other guys as the champagne was flowing to celebrate the records falling!!

From 1 remarkable match to another (I hope you don't mind!): I see hampshire used 11 bowlers in their match against Middlesex yesterday, including the wicketkeeper
That can't have happened too often.......

The use of "joke bowlers" is a device to feed a team with runs in order to quickly reach a pre-agreed score wherupon the batters will declare having set an attainable target for a run chase.
Cricketers tend to guard their statistics carefully and no bowler would like "joke runs" worsening their average which is why they use batsmen for this task.

Pakistan were effectively accused of cheating by the umpires so staged a protest by refusing to come out after tea thus forfeiting the game.
Cricket balls lose their shape or get damaged and in such circumstances the umpires will replace the ball. In this case the umpires deemed that the damage had been caused deliberately and awarded five penalty runs to England as the batting side and allowed the English batsmen to choose the replacement ball.
Damaging a cricket ball deliberately is cheating so by the umpires actions the Pakistanis were deemed to be cheats.

It made me chuckle a bit seeing Mike Atherton discussing the cheat storm, what with him being caught out rubbing some substance into the ball a few years back.... | |

Is there any evidence that they did actually cheat?
With all the cameras there it shouldn't be a problem to prove it.
