A HUMILIATED team posted one of the worst ever scores in the history of cricket – after being bowled out for just three runs.

All out for three? Wirral Cricket Club showing confidence during Saturday's game[GETTY]

Wirral Cricket Club’s first XI were confident they had Saturday’s game against Cheshire rivals Haslington in the bag after restricting their opponents to 108.

But within eight balls, they lost their opening batsmen Ray Peel and captain Peter Clewes.

In an innings that lasted for only 56 balls, the first 10 Wirral batsmen were out for a duck with only the last man in troubling the scorers with one run – the other two were leg byes.

Haslington needed only two bowlers. Ben Istead took six wickets in his five overs while conceding the solitary run, while new ball partner Tom Gledhill returned a rather economical 0-4 from 4.2 overs.

It was one of those strange things – that’s why we love the game of cricket

Matt Garrett, 24, who came in to bat at number nine with the score at 0-7, explained: “It was a bit of a pudding of a wicket but we had chased down a score of more than 200 to win last week and were confident we could get close to their score.

“However there was some good line and length bowling from them, and some poor shot selection from us, and we began to crumble as the pressure built up.

“It was one of those strange things – that’s why we love the game of cricket.”

While an embarrassing loss, it was not a world record lowest score – Somerset club Langport were dismissed for zero against Glastonbury in a 1913 match.

The lowest in a first-class match is six, made by The Bs against England at Lord’s in 1810.

Wirral thought they had a good chance of beating Haslington in the TACS Partnership Cheshire League Division Three match.

But at one point they were 0-8 after six overs before the pair of extras and number 11 batsmen Connor Hodson – who finished one not out – dragged the innings out until the 10th over.

After the match, the club took to Twitter to jokingly ask former England international cricketers Michael Vaughan, Andrew Flintoff, Phil Tufnell and David Lloyd for some coaching, adding the hashtag #weneedit.
