Zimbabwe wicketkeeper Clive Madande set a never-seen-before unwanted record on Friday.

He registered the record after conceding 42 byes in a Test innings against Ireland.

The runs given away by the 24-year-old were more than Ireland's 40-run first-innings lead vs Zimbabwe.

The byes were not entirely Madande's fault as he had to deal with several deliveries down the legside and also late swing.

One consolation for Madande was the record he surpassed was set by England great Les Ames.

This was the first time ever that a wicketkeeper conceded more than 40 byes in Test cricket.
