SJS your answer has a total of 13 instances (4 for Australia,7 for England and one each for Pakistan and West Indies) . Unfortunately this is not the correct Answer !!

 

[JASON]

Since no-one has made any guesses, here's a hint.

It's significantly higher compared to the previous answer .(which was 13) .

Er..in fact little less than double that answer !! now that should be an easy one to pick . guesses welcome !!
