Thank you to @acscricket member Brian Cowley for this wonderful stat: Ollie Pope has scored 5,060 runs for Surrey in 1st class cricket. 1,040 runs of that total (20.55%) have been scored against one county - Hampshire - at one ground - The Oval. #cricketcounts

Ollie Robinson’s 1st over today for England v New Zealand saw him take 3 wickets for no run. In the 21st century only Irfan Pathan & Mitchell Starc have achieved the same feat in Test match cricket. I.e. taken 3 wickets in the first over of the opposition innings. #cricketcounts

England’s men have played New Zealand in 115 Test matches. 47 of these matches have been drawn & New Zealand have won 14. England have triumphed in 54 Tests. Who will gain the upper hand as the latest series gets underway at @HomeOfCricket today? #cricketcounts

16th May 2010 saw England men’s team finally win a global tournament. After a desultory start England won four games on the trot & took just 17 overs to chase Australia’s 148 in the final. Craig Kieswetter was the hero with 63 off 49 balls. #cricketcounts
