Few people have devoted their lives so utterly to Surrey. Regarded for many years as Jack Hobbs’s junior partner opening the innings, he was one of 25 men to score 100 or more first-class centuries and his two Test tons included a career-best innings of 325 against West Indies. When Sandham’s first-class career ended, he became the county coach who...
In many ways the embodiment of Surrey’s side, Bernie Constable’s unbeaten 205 was the highest score of his county’s season. It ensured they made 384-5dec against Somerset at The Oval in early July so that when rain came it enabled the bowlers to dismiss the visitors for 89 and 115. Constable made 1,482 Championship runs and his technical skill was ...
Having struggled with ill-health for much of the time since joining Surrey after the war, David Fletcher realised his promise at the top of the order, his aggregate of 1,674 leading the scorers and forming a reliable opening partnership with Eric Bedser. He was to remain a stalwart member of the side to the end of the decade and later became a much...
Jim Laker started the season as one of Wisden’s five cricketers of the year, having bowled England to victory in the previous summer’s Oval Test against South Africa and taken more than 100 wickets for Surrey. His 86 at 16 made him one of the key bowlers for Stuart Surridge – four Tests against India explaining why he was absent for 10 Championship...
He might have been overshadowed by brother Alec but Eric Bedser’s contribution to Surrey’s title was never under-rated by his colleagues. Given the task of opening with David Fletcher, he made 1,541 Championship runs and claimed 56 wickets, opportunities with the ball limited by his fellow off-spinner Jim Laker.
Tony Lock enjoyed a breakthrough year in 1952, taking 100 wickets for the first time and making his Test debut against India. The left-arm spinner’s 116 scalps at 16 saw him established as a devastating ally to Jim Laker at the other end and Lock’s value was all the greater given he snapped up 54 catches close to the bat among 831 in a career which...
A clean striker of the ball, Geoff Whittaker entered the new season on the back of 1,439 runs in 1951 and might have been expecting to play a leading part. But he faded out of the side after playing 17 games and departed from Surrey after the 1953 season, falling 12 short of 5000 first-class runs.
Before physiotherapists arrived in the world of cricket – never mind fitness and hydration experts – one of the few concessions to the physical pounding cricketers took was the masseur. Sandy Tait spent more than three decades tending to the aching muscles of Surrey players while relishing the practical jokes he played on them as well.
Serving Surrey for 60 years, Herbert Strudwick removed 1,493 batsmen – a world record at the time – in his playing days as a wicketkeeper, his promise having been spotted by the daughter of the vicar at Mitcham. A first-class career which lasted from 1902-27 included 674 matches for his county and 28 Tests, which might have been many more had the s...
Day in, day out, there were few better wicketkeepers than Arthur McIntyre in the English game, although his way into the Test side was blocked on all but three occasions by Godfrey Evans. Standing up to the stumps to Bedser, McIntyre produced some remarkable catches and stumpings, his speedy reflexes and neat style supporting spinners Laker and Loc...
