The tales of this 1913 match had been buried in the dusty archives of Glastonbury Cricket Club in Somerset. It was not until September 2011 that the archives were surfaced by the Glastonbury archivist Toby Strang: “The scorecard from the day has been in the clubhouse for years and we thought it was about time it was recognised by Wisden or Guinness World Records,” he told in an interview with Steven Morris of The Guardian.
What had happened? The match had taken place on Whit Monday (May 25), 1913; a mysterious A Lisk, whose name has been shrouded in the mysteries of time, took seven for nought; he had apparently bowled unchanged with C Baily (there were two other Bailys who played for Glastonbury that day), who had taken the other three wickets, again without conceding a run.
