Brighton:

Ollie Robinson records: England fast bowler Ollie Robinson on Wednesday set the unwanted record of bowling the second-costliest over in the history of first-class cricket by conceding 43 runs in a county championship match. Right-arm bowler Robinson (30 years) has played 20 Tests for England since his debut in 2021. He bowled a total of nine balls, scoring 43 runs, in a Division Two match against Leicestershire while playing for Sussex at Hove. Leicestershire’s Lewis Kimber scored 43 off Robinson, including five sixes (three no balls), three fours and a run. It was the 59th over of Leicester’s second innings when Kimber was batting after scoring 72 off 56 balls. Leicestershire set Sussex a target of 446 runs. After finishing this over from Robinson, Kimber scored an unbeaten 109 off 65 balls. Ben Cox was batting at the other end.

Some of these runs were scored in Robinson’s overs.

This was Robinson’s 13th over with 6, 6 off no, 4, 6, 4, 6, 4, 6 and one run scored. In this way, Robinson also broke the record for scoring the most runs for England. He surpassed former Test fast bowler Alex Tudor’s record of 38 runs. In the year 1998, in the Surrey vs Lancashire match, Andrew Flintoff scored 34 runs in Tudor’s over.

Robert Vance has the biggest scar on his forehead

The most expensive over in the history of first class cricket was bowled in 1990. During the Shell Trophy match between Wellington and Canterbury, former New Zealand off-break bowler Vert Vance scored 77 runs with 17 no-balls in that over. Vance has played four Tests and eight ODIs for New Zealand.

Breaking a 26-year-old record

Ollie Robinson held the record for the second most expensive over in first-class cricket in 1998, which has now slipped to third place. Then in the year 1998, in the first class match played between Surrey vs Lancashire, Alexus Tudor gave 38 runs in one over, while in the same year in the match played between Worcestershire and Surrey, Shoaib Bashir also gave 38 runs in one over. .
