Wally Hammond was one of the finest cricketers of his era

Hammond had an appetite for huge scores. One of the highlights of his career was when he finished as the highest run-getter with 440 runs in the Bodyline series in 1932-33, which England won 4-1.

Hammond scored 50551 runs in first-class cricket, the third most, with 167 hundreds. In his 85 Tests, Hammond compiled seven double hundreds, fourth most in the history of Test cricket.
