7. Ireland- 16:

The Irish have played 50 matches and registered 16 maiden overs. The team has conceded a total of 5673 runs and taken 305 wickets. Their best individual bowling figures in the innings are 4/11. Cricket was introduced into Ireland by the English in the later stages of the 18th Century. The first record of a cricket match being played is in Phoenix Park in 1792 between a Colonel Lennox XI and an All-Ireland team under the guidance of Major Hobart. The first native Irish club, Ballinasloe, was formed in 1825, and the majority of Irish clubs were set up in the next 50 years – among the most famous are Phoenix (1830), Waringstown (1851), Sion Mills (1864) and Cork County (1874). Ireland played its first international game in 1855 when it beat The Gentlemen of England by 107 runs, and three years later it beat the MCC by an innings and 10 runs.
