ST LUCIA: All-rounder Romario Shepherd achieved a rare feat, scoring 22 runs from one legal delivery bowled by Oshane Thomas in the 13th fixture of Caribbean Premier League (CPL) 2025 here at the Daren Sammy National Cricket Stadium, Gros Islet.
Shepherd, playing for Guyana Amazon Warriors, scored 73 off 34 balls, hitting seven sixes and five fours.
However, the most entertaining part of his knock came in the 15th over of the match, where he took fast bowler Oshane Thomas to the cleaners.
Oshane Thomas had to bowl the third delivery of the over five times. The pacer started with a no-ball before bowling a wide delivery. He followed this with another front-foot no ball as Shepherd pounced on it and smashed it for a six.

Romario Shepherd smacked another no-ball from Thomas for a huge six as the drama continued.
The right-arm pacer finally managed to bowl a legal delivery, which Shepherd also hit over square leg for a 95-meter six; hence the one ball costing 22 runs.
After a dot ball and single, Iftikhar Ahmed hit a six from the final ball to take the over tally to 33 runs.
Notably, this was not the first time that Thomas had bowled a bizarre over.
During the Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) in 2024, Oshane Thomas also conceded an unusual 15 runs off just one legitimate ball.
However, Romario Shepherd’s innings went in vain as St Lucia Kings chased down the daunting total of 203-6 in 18.1 overs.
Ackeem Auguste starred with the bat, scoring a blistering knock off 73 from 35 balls, with the help of four sixes and half a dozen fours.
