Staying with cricket, what unusual stat happened during a South Africa/Australia test match in Cape Town twelve years ago?
At 11:11 on the 11/11/11 South Africa needed 111 runs to beat Australia.
Which World Championship has been won 11 times by German teams? The first recorded match was in 1588, and the winner's trophy then was the hand in marriage of a Sussex milkmaid.
Quite right cologne. I didn't wish to mention the Saxonia Globe Snippers or 1st MC Erzgebirge in case they were local teams to you.

It was the first esperanto state
It was founded in a tiny (3,5 km²), wedge-shaped area that for a hundred years was an easily overlooked ‘neutral zone’ in Western Europe.
Amokejo means friendship in Esperanto?

All yours Yorkie ! Administered as a sovereign neutral state for about 100 years (ending in 1919) they established Esperanto as their official language (although many of the population struggled with this). It was, more or less, administered by the Vieille Montagne Zinc Company, which was a Belgian mining firm. The same firm also had mines in Westmorland and were active in the area where I live. Went to Alte Moresnet (now in the small German speaking part of Belgium) a few months ago to their mining museum. Take it away.
