About this person
Noted as a belligerent batsman, in 1920 he hit the fastest recorded first-class century, in terms of time rather than balls received, reaching three figures in only 35 minutes, which remains a record as of 2025. On the basis of his Surrey captaincy, contemporaries judged him the best captain in England.
