Or so it seems, according to CI at any rate..

Baroda vs Maharashtra, OD games. Baroda batted first, 260/9 in 50 overs.
Among the Maharashtra bowling figures..

Bowling         O      M      R      W
Khirid         10      0     68      1 (2w)
Chavan          7.4    9      2     46 (4w, 2nb)
Siddiqui       10      0     41      3 (1w, 2nb)

Which sounds pretty damn impressive, really.

So each legitimate delivery of Chavan's brought a wicket. :)

Looks like they transposed the runs and wickets, though that still
leaves the mystery of the maidens figure.

Perhaps he bowled nine maiden balls.

Since people are in the mood for deciphering cricket scorecards, here
is an old puzzle I posted earlier on RSC.

Alun Thomas and Chris Waterworth solved it then, so if you haven't
seen it before, try and desist from looking it up on Google :-)

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Well .. this is something interesting I'm chewing on, and I felt that the
rest of the group would like it too.

(Hoping for a great start to the India-NZ series)

==========
For those who are jobless enough (and interested enough in cricket, I
suppose) here is a problem which was in Bradman's book on cricket.  

Warning ..  It is tough

Here is a scoreboard after which there are a few questions:

Atkins   6
Bodkins  8
Dawkins  6
Hawkins  6
Jenkins  5
Larkins  4
Meakins  7
Perkins  11
Simkins  6
Tomkins  0
Watkins  1

Extras   0
Total    60

Bowling:
           O    M    R     W
Pitchwell 12.1  2    14    8
Speedwell 6     0    15    1
Tosswell  7     5    31    1

Extra conditions:
Runs scored in 4's and Singles
No Catches, short runs (Batsmen cross only iff a single is scored)
Speedwell & Tosswell each bowled one spell

Scoreboard is in proper order
(i.e Pitchwell bowled the first ball to Atkins etc.)

Questions:  Whose wickets did Speedwell and Tosswell get?
            Who was not out?
            At what scores did the wickets fall (with the order in which
            the batsmen fell of course :)?

Disclaimer: I do not know if the solution is unique but there is a solution

Actually, I should have posted the link - always forget to do that.
Here it is:
http://www-usa.cricket.org/link_to_database/ARCHIVE/2002-03/IND_LOCAL...

Baroda got 260/9 batting first. The scorecard claims Khirid got 1
wicket, Siddiqui 3 wickets, and Trigune 3 wickets. And 2 batsmen
were run out. Thus, according to the actual card, Chavan had
*no* wickets.

Which is why, it doesnt look like it is a simple transposition
error - the 2 dont look like they are wickets at all. The 7.4
surely can only be overs. The 9 - have no idea what that can
be (not wides or no-balls, since those are already listed). And the
46 might be runs I suppose - but given past history in this instance,
one wonders :-) One could just add all the runs and overs of the
others to decipher the truth - but then that would be cheating,
wouldnt it? :-)

My own theory - the runouts (of which no details are given) were
effected by Chavan. And so someone credited them as 2 wickets for
him. And then, of course, they made a transposition error. And
the final runout was the 9th man out - which is where the 9 came
from. (But the 7.4 was probably an error too, because a cursory
look shows that nobody else bowled a partial over, and the opposition
batted 50 overs for 260/9 - now *that* one is a mystery ;-)

i think it is 9 overs 2 maidens 46 runs.
they have been shifted by a column.

i have no idea where the 7.4 came from.

Perhaps the overs left in after a partial scorecard was produced earlier in
the game.
