Average 40 in Division Two. What would you average in Division One? I followed the same batters across promotion and relegation to find out how big the step is, who bucked the trend and whether it’s changed over time. redballcricketstats.com/arti… #englandcricket #countycricket

According to PitchViz (based on the ball-tracking data) this is the most inconsistent surface for a Test in England since records began. Which is not ideal

We’ve never replaced Phil Mead!
🏏 Most centuries in County Championship history: 1️⃣ CP Mead 132 2️⃣ Jack Hobbs 130 3️⃣ Patsy Hendren 113 This is basically a roll call of English batting royalty. CP Mead sits top with 132 County Championship hundreds and 46,268 runs. A Hampshire giant. Not always spoken about like Hobbs, Hammond or Sutcliffe, but statistically one of the greatest county batters ever. Jack Hobbs is just behind with 130 hundreds and 38,737 runs. The Master. Still arguably the most famous first-class run machine of them all. Patsy Hendren scored 113 Championship tons and averaged 50.50, while Frank Woolley made 112 hundreds and over 43,000 runs - and somehow also took 800+ wickets. Different era, different workload, absurd cricketer. Then there’s Wally Hammond: 106 Championship hundreds at 56.68. Probably the most complete batting genius on the list. The modern names stand out too. Mark Ramprakash made 103 County Championship centuries at 58.18. That conversion rate is ridiculous (119 50s, 103 100s) Graeme Hick finished with 97 Championship tons and a highest score of 405. One of the great “what if?” England careers, but an absolute monster in county cricket. Boycott and Gooch also sit inside the top 10 - two England greats who combined elite Test careers with decade after decade of county dominance. Mad stat: Only six players have ever made 100+ County Championship centuries. And Mark Ramprakash is the only post-war player in that club.

Most County Championship runs vs Test Match Players (2020–2026). Tom Abell tops the list. In a different era, would he have played Test cricket for England? Sam Hain is another fascinating case. County giant, but perhaps not a fit for the aggressive approach England have preferred. Then there's Haseeb Hameed... Outstanding county record since being dropped by England (4518 Runs at 47), but against Test bowlers since 2020 in the championship: • v Sam Cook – 11.8 (5 dismissals) • v Craig Overton – 18.4 (5) • v Jimmy Anderson – 19.0 (2) • v Matt Henry – 9.0 (2) • v Matt Fisher – 9.0 (2) It raises an interesting question: Which county player from the last 10 years was most unlucky not to earn a longer England career?

Did you know that Philadelphian, John Barton King, took 87 wickets in ten first-class matches in 1908 at an average of II.01. A record, for 50 wickets or more, that was unbroken for 50 years.

As a 14yo I was invited to a net run by then Leics capt, Tony Lock. My dad - warped sense of humour - suggested I ask the great man whether he straightened his elbow when he pushed his quicker one through. Oblivious, I did just that. He had a good left hook, did Tony Lock!

Sad to see Liam Dawson retire from red ball cricket but . Marvelous all round performances for @hantscricket Admire his skills & dedication. Bowled so many overs as both attacking bowler & holding the fort. Underrated batter. @swsportsnews @hawkhampshire @hantsfanpodcast
County cricket all-round greatness is alive and well 🔥 Since 2000, only six times has a player scored 100+ runs in an innings and taken 10+ wickets in the match in the County Championship. Even more ridiculous: Liam Dawson has done it twice - the only player this century to appear on the list more than once this century. Hartley and Rehan Ahmed both joined the clubduring the same week in July 2025. Proper match-winning all-round performances. Stats by redballcricketstats.com/ #countychampionship #redballcricketstats

Great to see our previous guest @OHD_20 up near the top. He has now taken 350 First Class Wickets for @WarwickshireCCC Olly first joined us in ep 18 chrt.fm/track/4F8ACF/pscrb.f… @rosatalksball @WarwickshireCF @BBCCWRSport @WVCricket
Most wickets in the County Championship & Bob Willis Trophy, THIS DECADE 2020–2026 🏏 Simon Harmer leads the decade with 305 wickets and 18 five-wicket hauls - still Essex’s spin weapon and one of the great modern overseas county signings. But the pace depth is huge. Kyle Abbott has been outstanding for Hampshire: 274 wickets at 20.68, striking every 43.78 balls. He has put together one of the greatest seam bowling career in the competition since WWII. Jamie Porter continues to be a relentless Essex performer with 255 wickets, while Sam Cook might have the most eye-catching record: 248 wickets at just 18.38, with an economy of 2.51. Then there’s Mohammad Abbas, pure control and seam movement: 219 wickets at 20.26 and only 2.43 runs per over. This decade has belonged to accurate, relentless red-ball bowlers. #CountyCricket #Cricket #CountyChampionship Stats by redballcricketstats.com/
