I was at Lords when Scott Boswell bowled his infamous 14 ball over against Somerset in the 2001 C&G Final. Captain Vince Wells never offered a word to him while Phil “Daffy” DeFreitas could be seen “conspicuously” laughing fielding at mid on. 2 overs,no maidens,23 runs,no wickets was the sum of his efforts. His agony was later compounded when he misfielded on the boundary in front of the most raucous section of the vociferous Somerset followers, leaving a huge divot in the outfield turf.Scorecard made interesting. In over 39 there were 26 runs including an 8NB. Don't see that often!
In the Semi-Final at Grace Road he had destroyed the Lancashire top order taking 4-44 and dismissing Atherton, Lloyd, Hayes and Flintoff (all England capped batsmen).
Boswell returned to Lords just once more in 2008 fielding a few overs as 12th man for Kibworth in their Cockspur Cup Village Competition Final!
