Jack Hobbs

Surrey County Cricket Club is reproducing a range of articles that have

appeared in Wisden Cricketers Almanack. These small publications are

being produced in limited edition sets of 300 each.

This piece by Neville Cardus, widely acknowledged as one of the great

cricket writers, first appeared in 1964. Jack Hobbs had died the previous

December, having broken countless records in his long career. He played

for Surrey from 1905 to 1934, was the leading run-scorer and centurymaker

in first-class cricket with 61,760 and 199 respectively (Wisden at the

time had slightly different figures), and was the first professional cricketer

to be knighted.
