Star batsmen and their second home grounds

8. Sir Len Hutton – The Oval, London

Sir Len Hutton scored 364 at The Oval, breaking Bradman’s record en route

Sir Richard Leonard Hutton’s home ground was Headingley, Yorkshire where he grew up playing and piled on a bucketload of runs for his county Yorkshire. Yet, when it came to Tests, the English legend relished playing at The Oval.

In the 12 matches, he got to play in his career on this ground, Hutton scored 1521 runs at an average of nearly 90. It was also the ground where he went past Sir Don Bradman’s 334 to score the then highest score of 364, helping England to notch up a humongous 903 runs.
