Ollie Robinson Sets Unwanted Record in County Championship

England fast bowler Ollie Robinson made an unwanted mark in County Championship history by conceding 43 runs in a single over. The match between Sussex and Leicestershire saw Robinson, playing for Sussex, face a brutal onslaught from Leicestershire’s Lewis Kimber. Kimber capitalized on Robinson’s errors, including three no-balls, hitting fours on each of the no-balls. This performance places Robinson as the second-highest run-conceding bowler in a single over in first-class cricket, behind Robert Vance’s record of 77 runs.

Kimber’s Record-Breaking Innings

Lewis Kimber’s remarkable performance not only highlighted Ollie Robinson’s over but also set several records. Kimber completed his century in just 62 balls and went on to score a double century, hitting 19 fours and 17 sixes. His innings of 243 runs off 127 balls set the record for the fastest double-century in County Championship history. Additionally, Kimber’s 18th six broke Ben Stokes’ record for the most runs in an innings in the County Championship. Despite Kimber’s phenomenal effort, Leicestershire lost to Sussex by 18 runs.
