yet again...
if you are the first player to play for england, your number is 1
if you are th 50th player to play for england, your number is 50
if you are the 1,0000000th player to play for england, then your number is 1,0000000

Quite true from Perkins >>>>
It is the order in which they have represented England in test matches or 1 day matches - The answers above are nearly right, but more than one player can have the same number if they made their debut in the same match.
Cricket is a cool game dudes.

It's the number test player they are for England. It's also shown on the side of the cap. So if Flintoff's number is 1234, it means he's the 1234th player to represent England at test level. They started it about 10 years ago.

I know that the aussies have the number corresponding to their place in the order of players to represent Australia - eg someone with 326 will be the 326th person to play cricket for their country.
I think England is probably the same

The number underneath the team logo means the player number to be Internationally picked to play for there country. All teams have this I think.

Strettyford has the right answer, so I'm just repeating it to get 2 points lol
When they get to number 1,000 he will be made a very important person indeed
(unless we give up the game by then!)
