Afer the advent of Australia's Sir Donald Bradman in 1930, England's Sir Leonard Hutton arrived on the scene in 1938 in what was one of the most one-sided Ashes Tests ever.

England batted for three days and Hutton made history by scoring 364 in the fifth and final Test of the series at the Oval.

The Yorkshireman, playing in just his sixth match, batted for three straight days and piled misery on Australia.

He faced 847 deliveries and struck 35 fours to set a new record for the highest Test score.

Hutton's record was broken by West Indies' Garfield Sobers when he scored 365 in 1958.

As for the game, England declared on 903/7 and defeated Australia by an innings and 579 runs.
