10 best players of all time from Yorkshire

#3 Herbert Sutcliffe

Sutcliffe has the fourth highest Test batting average in history

One of Yorkshire's and England's greatest ever batsmen, Herbert Sutcliffe had to wait till the age of 24 to make his first-class debut because of the onset of the First World War, but he made up for lost time with his impeccable scoring that saw him amass more than 38000 first-class runs.

Initially playing in the middle order, Sutcliffe made a successful transformation as an opener forming formidable opening pairs with Jack Hobbs for England and at the county level with Percy Holmes and later, Sir Len Hutton.

His Test average of 60.73 is the fourth highest in history and the best by an Englishman and it spoke highly of his determination and concentration that saw him outshine his teammates on even the most difficult of pitches.

In fact, Sutcliffe made his name as a "bad wicket batsman" and was a batsman ahead of his time as he liked to score freely.
