Zimbabwe wicketkeeper Clive Madande breaks a 90-year old unwanted record in Tests

Clive Madande, the Zimbabwean wicketkeeper, set an unwanted record during the one-off Test match against Ireland in Belfast on other day, reported 24NewsHD TV channel. 
The 24-year-old, who had a challenging debut after being dismissed for a duck on the first day, conceded 42 byes in a single innings, surpassing the previous record of 37 byes set by England's Les Ames in 1934, reported AFP.

Ames, considered one of the greatest wicketkeeper-batsmen in cricket history, had conceded those byes against Australia at The Oval.

Madande's record-breaking byes exceeded Ireland's first-innings lead of 40 runs, as they scored 250 in response to Zimbabwe's 210.

The byes were not entirely Madande's fault, as he had to contend with his bowlers delivering several deliveries
down the legside and late swing after the ball had passed the bat.
Zimbabwe could have taken the lead in the first innings if not for a 47-run partnership for the last wicket
between Andy McBrine (28) and Matthew Humphreys (27 not out).

At the close of play on the rain-affected second day of this one-off Test, Zimbabwe were 12-0 in their second
innings, trailing by 28 runs, with Joylord Gumbie and Prince Masvaure batting out the final 15 minutes.
