5 longest overs bowled in cricket history

#1 Bert Vance - 22 balls

Vance played 4 Tests and 8 ODIs for New Zealand

This has to be the worst over ever bowled in cricket history. New Zealand's Bert Vance bowled a mind boggling 22 balls in a single over during a domestic match. He was representing Wellington against Canterbury in the Shell Trophy Final during the 1989/90 season when he bowled this horrendous over.

In a bid to win the trophy as Canterbury was playing for a draw, Vance started bowling high full tosses which were also no-balls. The part-time off-spinner eventually conceded 77 runs in the over. Even the scorers and umpires were confused as the original over had only 5 legitimate balls bowled. Though Wellington went onto win the trophy, the incident was against the spirit of the game and generated a massive controversy in New Zealand's first-class circuit.
