England fast bowler Ollie Robinson was hit for 43 runs in the most expensive over in the history of the County Championship.<\/b><\/p>\n
Sussex\u2019s Robinson was struck for five sixes – three of which were off no-balls – three fours and a single by Leicestershire’s Louis Kimber in the fourth and final day of their Division Two match on Wednesday.<\/p>\n
It is believed to be the most expensive over in all first-class cricket when there was no compliance from the bowler (i.e. bowling for a declaration).<\/p>\n
Kimber’s feat is comfortably the most runs scored by a batter in one over of English first-class cricket.<\/p>\n
Surrey’s Alex Tudor conceded 38 runs in an over to Lancashire’s Andrew Flintoff in 1998 – a mark equalled earlier this week by Surrey\u2019s Dan Lawrence<\/a> off the bowling of England team-mate Shoaib Bashir.<\/p>\n Robinson is hoping to play a significant role for England men\u2019s Test side this summer, particularly following the retirement of Jimmy Anderson after the opening game against West Indies at Lord’s from 10 July.<\/p>\n Kimber’s record-breaking over helped the batter continue an astonishing innings that had reached 191 off 92 balls by lunch – part of an eighth-wicket stand of an unbroken 200 with Ben Cox.<\/p>\n Leicestershire hit 236 from 29 overs in the morning session but still needed 89 runs for victory with just three wickets remaining when play paused at 13:00 BST.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
