Langport made history when they got all out for a duck in the year 1913. Not a single player managed to score a single run and what’s funny is that the Langport team were so unfortunate that they couldn’t even muster an extra!

Langport’s incredible batting performances would have been forgotten had it not been for the efforts of the team’s archivist Toby Strang. About the famous performance, he said: “The scorecard from the day has been in the clubhouse for years and we thought it was about time it was recognised by Wisden [Cricketers' Almanack] or Guinness World Records.”

He added: “How can a team be out for zero? We don't know the weather or conditions that day but it beggars belief the team didn't even score an extra.” The match was dubbed to be an ‘amazing sensation’ for the supporters.

Although Langport bowled well, getting the entire Glastonbury bowled out for a total of 80 runs, Langport’s incredible batting performance that day would make sure that the club goes down in history for being the first team to get bowled out for 0!
