Ollie Robinson Bowls Most Expensive Over in 134 years Of County Cricket!

Sussex’s Ollie Robinson was hit for five sixes, including three off no-balls, three fours, and a single by Leicestershire’s Louis Kimber on the fourth and final day of their Division Two match on Wednesday. This over is believed to be the most expensive in all first-class cricket where the bowler was not deliberately conceding runs for a declaration. Kimber's achievement marks the highest number of runs scored by a batter in a single over of English first-class cricket. Previously, Surrey’s Alex Tudor conceded 38 runs in an over to Lancashire’s Andrew Flintoff in 1998, a record matched earlier this week by Surrey’s Dan Lawrence off England teammate Shoaib Bashir. Robinson, who aims to play a key role for England's Test side this summer following Jimmy Anderson's retirement, faced this record-breaking over from Kimber, who reached 191 off 92 balls by lunch during an eighth-wicket partnership of 200 runs with Ben Cox. Despite Leicestershire scoring 236 runs in 29 overs in the morning session, they still needed 89 runs for victory with just three wickets remaining when play stopped Also Read: T20 World Cup: Team India vs England Semi-Final Preview, Probable Playing XI And More
