1956 English cricket season
1956 was the 57th season of County Championship cricket in England. It is memorable for the performances of Jim Laker, especially his unique feat in taking a world record 19 wickets in the Old Trafford Test Match. He took a total of 46 wickets in the five Tests, a record in an England-Australia series. In May, he had taken all ten wickets in the Australian first innings in their match against Surrey, assisting Surrey to become the first county side since 1912 to defeat the Australians. Surrey won the County Championship for the fifth successive year to create a new record of consecutive titles won by one county.

gollark: I don't think you do for the shulker making thing, but yes, you need an existing elyta to copy.
gollark: Elytras can be replicated using a quark feature. Same with shulkers.
gollark: Well, the one player city and random houses.
gollark: Such a reset would destroy all the cities there thus no.
