This ball went for six!

How do you do fellow kids

Keep forgetting this place exists but I feel you lot won't judge me for: a) realising the smallest England shirt number tonight is Scurran's 58 b) calculating the average number in the XI is 78.6 c) finding the unused England numbers since 2022 are 1, 3, 4, 5, 12, 13, 21, 43, 45, 64, 69, 73, 74, 91

Got asked this on the other place but six Toms in Sussex v Somerset isn't even a Champo record sadly: seven Johns in Yorkshire v Notts in 1900 and Davids in Lancashire v Gloucs in 1968

Tom Banton looking poised to become the fourth April triple-centurion in Champo history and the third for Somerset in Taunton (Sam Northeast 335* for Glamorgan v Middlesex last year, Justin Langer 316 v Middlesex in 2007, James Hildreth 303* v Warwickshire in 2009)

Here's something absolutely stupid: in just 15 matches at the club, John Simpson now has the four highest scores in Champo history by Sussex wicketkeepers (205* and 183* against Leicestershire last summer, 181* and counting here, 167 at his old stomping ground Lord's)

A message to any IPL teams incredibly desperate today: I struck at 153 at Sixes on Saturday night, didn't get out in my five overs of batting, and could really bloody do with a holiday right now. Give me your crores.
