10 best players of all time from Surrey

#8 Graham Thorpe

Graham Thorpe

One of England’s batting mainstays for about a decade, Graham Thorpe was one of those elegant and fluent left-handers who announced himself with a century on Test debut against Australia in 1993. But it was 5 years back in 1988, that he made his first-class debut for Surrey.

He made his name as an exceptional counter-attacking batsman who could turn the tide in his team's favour with his belligerent strokes. In addition to that, his presence in the field was invaluable and he excelled in any position.

He played 100 Tests for England scoring 6744 at an average of 44.66 which included 16 hundreds.

He played 341 first class games and 354 List A matches which were mostly for Surrey. He scored more than 31,000 runs in competitive cricket with more than 260 50+ scores.
