Surely some sort of a record:

Chris Gayle 37 sixes.
England 35 sixes

According to StatsGuru, Gayle hit 39 sixes in the series.

That's 234 runs in sixes, holy ****.

Gayle would have averaged 58.50 in the series if he had only scored runs in sixes!

There must be a record of ratio of 6s to be 4s or something in there too.

Yes, Gayle hit 39 sixes and 20 fours. This ratio of 1.95 sixes per four is the highest in an ODI series by anyone with 12 or more sixes in a series.

Most runs in boundaries in a series? Highest percentage of boundaries?

Ireland's 50+ runs for the tenth wicket in each innings against Afghanistan was the first time that had happened since 1895

Hughes/Agar (163) and Haddin/Pattinson (65) in the 2013 Nottingham Test. (Then in the next Test at Nottingham both India and England had 100+ 10th wicket stands).

The 1895 instance had the same batsmen in each innings (Trott/Callaway), and they each also took a 5fer - for some reason Sydney Callaway was never picked again.

They misled me on the stat/record when Jason Holder got to his double century. Something along the lines of only #7 batsman to hit a double.

The West Indies' opening stand of 365 against Ireland is the highest opening partnership in ODIs (by 51 runs). Another 8 runs and they'd have got the highest partnership for any wicket in ODIs.

Jamaicans running things...

Gayle and Samuels with that mammoth partnership 4 years ago...and now Campbell and Hope (A solid cricketer in LO cricket) with this.
