Joe Carter and Brett Hampton set a new world record as they walloped a massive 43 from a single over in a one-day game in New Zealand.

The pair combined for a sequence of 4, 6nb, 6nb, 6, 1, 6, 6, 6 in the 46th over of Northern Districts’ innings in their 25-run win over Central Districts in the Ford Trophy.

The unlucky bowler in New Zealand was Willem Ludick, whose two no balls in the over were given for beamers, both of which were hit for six by Hampton.

He added: “It was right at the end and I suppose it was a sort of see-ball-hit-ball scenario and we got a couple of free no balls which helped us get going, and I passed it on to Joey to finish it off.”
