[edit] Test Series

England played New Zealand in a 3-test series, winning the first, and drawing the remaining two. South Africa also toured England in 1994, playing three test matches. They won one, drew one and lost one.

[edit] Leading batsmen

J D Carr topped the batting averages, scoring 1,543 runs @ 90.76, and with a top score of 261*.

Brian Lara posted the highest individual innings score in first class cricket (501*) playing for Warwickshire against Durham at Edgbaston, and also scored the largest number of runs throughout the season (2,066 @ 89.82). He also hit an unprecedented 7 centuries in a period of 8 innings (although the first of these was not achieved in the county championship, but playing for the West Indies in a test match against England in Antigua. He scored 375, which was then the highest individual innings in test matches.)
