10 best players of all time from Yorkshire

#2 Sir Len Hutton

Len Hutton holds the record for the highest individual Test score by an Englishman

Regarded by some as the finest English batsman of the 20th century, Sir Len Hutton played over two decades for Yorkshire and his knock of 364 against Australia in 1938, is still the highest individual score by an England cricketer in Test history.

Hutton scored a duck on debut but it proved to be one of the very few occasions he failed to make an impact with the bat for either club or country as he stood head and shoulders above his compatriots.

Known for his concentration and the guarded manner in which he used to protect his wicket, Hutton defied a serious injury sustained during the Second World War to continue his run-scoring feats with the bat.

By the time he retired in 1956, he had scored more than 40000 runs in first-class cricket with 129 hundreds and was soon knighted for his achievements in the game.
