Oshane Thomas bowls 12-ball over in Bangladesh Premier League
What's the story
West Indies fast bowler, Oshane Thomas, witnessed a bizarre incident during a Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) match.
The match was played between Khulna Tigers and Chittagong Kings. Playing for the former, who set a target of 204 runs, Thomas opened the bowling against Naeem Islam.
But his first over went on to an unbelievable 12 deliveries, courtesy a few no-balls and wides.
Initial struggle
Thomas's first over marred by no-balls and wides
Thomas's first delivery was a no-ball, but he soon corrected his line and length with a perfect delivery at the stumps.
However, then came another no-ball, which went for six runs, and two wides. This added extra runs to the total.
A third no-ball from Thomas was hit for four by Islam. By now, Thomas had already given away 15 runs off just one legal delivery.
Wicket fall
Thomas's over ends with wicket after 12 attempts
Despite the initial setbacks, it took Thomas five tries to bowl the first two legal deliveries of his over.
He then managed to bowl two consecutive dot balls. However, another no-ball was bowled in this over.
The extra delivery from this no-ball resulted in Islam's dismissal on the fifth legal delivery of the over.
After 12 attempts, Thomas finally completed his over, having conceded a total of 18 runs.
