If you select (highlight) the columns into which you are pasting, and
Format Cells, set format to TEXT, and then Paste Special, Text your
cricket scores should remain intact.

Is there any way within Excel whereby I can disable date recognition?
I
often copy data from an HTML page and paste it into Excel. Even if I
select 'paste special'/'text', I still have problem with data like
10-12, and 5/6.

I can overcome this by importing data/new web query/options/disable
date
recognition, but it appears to be a bit long-winded compared to
copy/paste.

Thanks.
