slowest

Alpine started the season as the slowest on the grid but has made significant progress in recent months.

The latest official quarterly figures, external show that pay grew at its slowest rate for more than two years between June and August.

Others, like the Slow Walkers Club, let the slowest participant set the pace, and sometimes help them finish a route.

It took the opener 79 balls to reach his fifth and slowest ODI half-century before falling to Forde on 74, but only after providing the springboard for England.

And although they have been progressing in recent races after starting the year as one of the two slowest teams, they certainly never expected this.
