In Football, if a team beats another team with a score of 234-56, not only does that use 5 consecutive numbers but, if you include the margin, which is 178, you end up with the first 8 numbers.

And if those scores are made up of 39.0 to 9.2, you get a 9 and a 0 as well! And another 2 and a 39!

I saw this the other day and thought it was bullshit... but appears it's not.

Australia played England in the third test at the WACA in December 2013.

The opposing captains, Alistair Cook and Michael Clarke, both happened to be playing their 100th Test in that match.

In his second innings, Clarke got off the mark and moved to two not out. Fairly nondescript.

However, at that very moment...

Clarke's career Test record stood at: 100 matches, 7,966 runs, and 26 centuries.

Cook's career Test record stood at: 100 matches, 7,955 runs, and 25 centuries.

Combine them.

Sachin Tendulkar had retired from Test cricket a month earlier. His career Test record:

200 matches, 15,921 runs... and 51 centuries.
