England's cricketers

Wonderful cricket down under as England win the Ashes series 3-1. England's domination of the series can be seen in this statistic: each side could lose 100 wickets over the 5 matches. Australia lost 91 wickets for an average of 29 runs. England lost 56 wickets for an average of 51 runs.

Cricket fans love statistics. What about this? I hear on the BBC that in three of the matches the final ball was bowled during Radio 4's shipping forecast.
