"It's the first time in three years that there has been a bit of a low for me." 💬
James Coles used his "super strength" to put a rough run of form behind him and produce a career-best double century for Sussex in the County Championship.

Magnificent maiden century from Thomas Rew, but he’s not the youngest @SomersetCCC centurion. That was Trevor Jones, who was 18 and 104 days when he made 106 batting at number 9 v Leics in July 1938. 2nd youngest is Tres and third James Rew

One of the great World Cup innings was in a group match between Australia and West Indies at The Oval on June 14th 1975 when the diminutive Alvin Kallicharran took on - and took apart - the swaggering Dennis Lillee. As Lillee fired in bouncers, Kallicharran rose to the challenge, at one point taking 35 off ten balls (Patrick Eagar)

Double hundred and a three-fer for James Coles, who's also passed on the possibility of a bumper payment in his contract, preferring any funds to go towards keeping some of Sussex's squad together.

🗣️ “Now it’s on billboards, it’s on adverts, it’s on Waterloo Bridge – the game has changed so much in the last 10 years.”
✍️ Lauren Winfield-Hill says the 2026 Women’s T20 World Cup is proof of how far the game has come.

Matt Potts leaves the field at Chester-le-Street this afternoon after taking eight for 68 in @DerbyshireCCC second innings.
These are the best innings figures ever recorded by a @DurhamCricket bowler against Derbyshire, improving on Chris Rushworth's seven for 44 here in 2022.
Potts finished with match figures of 10-93.

England women’s 219/1 score v Sri Lanka in the opening match of the T20I World Cup was the highest ever score in a women’s T20I World Cup by any team. A great start for the England team. #cricketcounts

One great career ending and another (Bradman's) beginning. Some sense in that
Jack Hobbs pushes forward in the opening overs of the 1st Ashes Test at Trent Bridge, June 13th 1930. Hobbs, 47 and in his final series, scored 78 and 74 as England won by 93 runs

Had it on a bit of string: flight, dip, gentle variation of pace ❤️
His batting was epic too but only in the sense that India sometimes declared when he was due in!
A lovely portrait of Bishan Bedi at Lord's during India's 1974 tour of England (Patrick Eagar). In 67 Tests he took 266 wickets at 28.71, and in all first-class cricket 1560 wickets at 21.69 but those stats only scratch the surface of a remarkable man as well great spin bowler

Farewell to the great Kiwi, Kane Williamson, who has retired from international cricket having played 110 Test matches scoring 9,515 runs at 54.06 with 33 tons; in 175 ODI’s 7,256 runs at 48.69 with 15 tons: 93 T20I’s 2,575 runs at 33.44. What a body of work. #cricketcounts
