🎳 Dishonours

📉 Bowled Out for Buttons

The lowest all-out totals in the club's history — the afternoons the whole thing folded like a deckchair. Completed innings only, so declarations and washouts stay out of it.

💥 Hammered

Beaten by the length of the street. The heaviest defeats by runs — a mountain set, a molehill managed.

🥀 The Wilderness Years

The club's darkest runs: the longest sequences of consecutive defeats, when nothing went right for weeks on end. Any win, draw or tie breaks the spell. (Across all senior sides — a bad patch for the whole club.)

🦂 Sting in the Tail

Nine down and chasing, the opposition's last pair scraped over the line — Linton unable to find the final wicket before the winning runs came. Beaten by a single wicket, and by the rabbits at that, the cruellest margin of them all.

🫖 Done Before Tea

Bat first, bowled out cheaply, and the opposition knock it off so fast the whole match is over in less time than a single innings should take. Ranked by the total overs the entire game lasted, both innings — the quickest capitulations first.

👹 Nemesis

The bogey teams — the opposition who have beaten Linton more often than any other. Some fixtures you just dread.

👻 The Boogeyman

The opposition players who have haunted Linton down the years — the most runs scored, and the most wickets taken, against us.

😤 Not Enough

The biggest totals Linton ever posted batting first — and still lost, the opposition chasing every one of them down. All that work, all for nothing.

🌱 It's Doing a Bit

A genuine nought for two — both openers gone and not a single run, not even an extra, on the board when the second wicket fell, and both to the bowling (a run-out doesn't count — the pitch has to be to blame). The purest evidence the surface, or the new-ball pair, meant business — and rarer than you'd think.

🏃 Should've Said No

The serial run-out offenders — dismissed run out more than anyone else. A lifetime of misjudged singles, ignored calls and team-mates left stranded mid-pitch.

🦶 Two Left Feet

Dismissed stumped more than anyone else — a career of wandering down the track, missing it, and turning to find the bails already off and the keeper grinning.

🎣 Caught Fishing

Nicked off to the keeper more than anyone — a lifetime of chasing the wide one and feathering it through to the gloves. (The keeper is identified from stumpings and keeper flags, so it's a lower bound.)
