WORCESTERSHIRE all-rounder Ed Barnard created a slice of history with his bowling performance in the fine home win over Lancashire.
Barnard dismissed five batsmen all for a duck in the first innings of the Specsavers County Championship Division One clash.
According to County’s heritage co-ordinator Tim Jones only two other Worcestershire players had managed to achieve this unusual feat.
Barnard follows in the footsteps of Norman Gifford who did it in a match against Cambridge University at Cambridge in 1972.
Paceman Jack Flavell also produced the rare act in a Championship encounter against Kent at Dover in 1955.
The record is seven ducks in an innings by C Blythe for Kent against Northamptonshire at Northampton in 1907.
