As the New Zealand cricketers are touching new heights at the highest level, the upcoming crop isn’t staying behind either. The Shrimpton Trophy in New Zealand witnessed Rosemary Mair register an insane bowling spell, picking up four wickets in four balls, giving away no runs in her four overs. Rosemary, who was playing for Central Districts recorded these stunning figures against Taranaki at Hawke’s Bay on November 7 (Thursday).

Her numbers at the end of the opposition innings read as 4-4-0-4. Mair not only made an impact with the ball but also made a substantial contribution with the bat. The 21-year old hammered 31 off 16 balls to carry Central Districts to a formidable total of 263 in a 40-over game. With the ball, she runs riot – bundling out the top-order with ease. In the end, Taranaki was shot out for an embarrassing score of 56, losing by a whopping margin of 207 runs.
