RIP Keith Piper who died on 9th June aged 56. A terrific wicket-keeper for Warwickshire he played 200 1st matches (504 catches/36 stumpings) & 237 List A matches (251 catches/53 stumpings) as well as 6 T20’s (3 catches/1 stumping). A handy bat he averaged 19.99 in 1st class. #cricketcounts
Emilio Gay is the 71st man to make the highest score of the match on Test debut with 57 in England's 2nd innings.
Of those only Dattu Phadkar 51 for Ind v Aus at Sydney in 1947 has made a lower score.
DW Lawrence and OJD Pope set a FC partnership record for Surrey v Hampshire by adding 255 for the 4th wicket, beating the 238 set by HS Squires and JF Parker at Bournemouth in 1948. @acscricket.bsky.social
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
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
