In 1911, Killick earned an unwanted place in cricket history. In the first innings against Nottinghamshire he took 5 for 14, but in the second innings Ted Alletson hit one of his overs for 34 runs. For 57 years, this was the most runs scored in an over of first-class cricket, until it was surpassed in 1968 by Garry Sobers, who hit 36 off Malcolm Nash.[1][2]
His uncle, Harry Killick, also played first-class cricket.
