5 longest overs bowled in cricket history

#4 Daryl Tuffey - 14 balls

Daryl Tuffey had to endure a dismal over against Trans-Tasman rivals Australia

Opening the bowling in limited-overs cricket is always a tough task as the batsmen are often looking to go over the top with field restrictions in place. During an ODI against Australia in 2005, Daryl Tuffey bowled one of the longest opening overs in international cricket. The right-arm seamer delivered a staggering 14 balls to the destructive Adam Gilchrist.

At one point of time, Australia's score read 15/0 without a ball being bowled. Tuffey sprayed the ball around without any sort of control. The woeful over consisted of four wides and as many no-balls. When he eventually finished the over, Tuffey had conceded 16 runs. He retired from all competitive cricket in January 2013.
