10 best players of all time from Yorkshire

#6 Wilfred Rhodes

Rhodes was a brilliant all-rounder for Yorkshire and England

Wilfred Rhodes made his first-class debut for Yorkshire in 1898 and established himself as one of the most respected figures in the history of cricket by the end of his long and glittering career.

At 52 years and 165 days, Rhodes holds the record for being the oldest player to have appeared in a Test match. He also holds the world records both for the most appearances made in first-class cricket (1,110 matches) and for the most wickets taken (4,204).

Having started out primarily as a bowler, Rhodes made a successful transformation as a batsman and served England and Yorkshire as a true all-rounder for a number of years.

Batting became Rhodes' primary mainstay towards the end of his career, especially as an opener, but with a career that spanned more than three decades, Rhodes had amassed numbers with both bat and ball that very few could even dream of.

Eminent cricket writer Sir Neville Cardus aptly described Wilfred Rhodes as "Yorkshire Cricket personified," his having been a loyal servant of the side.
