An Unwanted Record For USA & Netherlands Stars
The Halloween Bowling Horror: Two Associate Bowlers Give Over 85 Runs Three Times
Cricket fans got a spooky surprise this Halloween! Two bowlers from Associate nations—Logan van Beek (Netherlands) and Jasdeep Singh (USA)—have each given away over 85 runs in a 10-over spell not once, not twice, but three times in their ODI careers.
The Challenges of Associate Nation Bowlers
Unlike bowlers from top cricketing nations like Australia or India, who get more experience and support, Associate nation bowlers often face the world’s best batsmen with limited resources. Yet, these players keep pushing through, showing dedication even when it means high run tallies.
Logan van Beek: The Fighter from the Netherlands
Logan van Beek has faced strong batting lineups and ended up conceding over 85 runs in three different matches. Despite the tough situations, he completes his spells, learning and growing with each game.
Jasdeep Singh: USA’s Persistent Performer
Jasdeep Singh or Jessy Singh has also been in three high-scoring spells. Representing a growing cricket nation, Jessy’s determination to bowl full spells against powerful opponents shows his resilience and commitment.
Why Do These Stats Matter?
For Associate players, high-run spells are more than numbers—they’re learning experiences. Van Beek and Singh’s willingness to bowl under pressure shows the courage needed to grow the sport in emerging cricket nations.
These bowlers may concede runs, but they’re building a foundation for future players and expanding cricket’s reach globally. Their dedication brings something special to the game, and they remind us that every player has a role in making cricket exciting worldwide.
