How unlucky would you have to be that you hit the stumps 8 times in an over yet, had only 3 wickets to show for it? In a school game in the 1880s, SMJ Woods bowled an over where he hit the stumps 8 times but only managed to take three wickets. The first three hits were off no-balls. The fourth delivery resulted in a legitimate wicket. The fifth delivery brushed the leg stump and went for four byes. He then took two more wickets on the sixth and seventh ball, and the eighth ball hit the stumps but went for another four byes.
