  • Robert (Bobby) Abel, nicknamed "The Guv'nor", was a Surrey and England opening batsman who was one of the most prolific run-getters in the early years of the County Championship. Abel was born in Rotherhithe, Surrey, England. He was: the first England player to "carry his bat" (open the batting and remain not out at the end of an innings) through a Test innings. the first player to score 2000 runs in consecutive seasons (1895 to 1902). Abel also carried his bat through an innings of 811 (the highest total for which this feat has been achieved). His 357* in that innings remains a Surrey record, and was the highest score made at The Oval until Len Hutton scored 364 in 1938. He played a record number of first-class matches in a season (41 in 1902). An exceedingly small man - only five feet four (162 centimetres) and very slimly built, Abel also suffered in the later part of his career from major vision problems that could handicap him against the fastest bowling. However, his ability to produce eccentric, cross-batted strokes, complemented with a remarkable determination and stamina, made Abel a wonderful batsman on the many difficult pitches of his time. He was also extremely effective at pulling the ball around his legs, a useful skill at a time when few fieldsmen were placed on the leg side, at least in dry weather.
  • Robert (Bobby) Abel, malanomenat "The Guv'nor", fou un batedor obert de criquet de Club de Criquet del Comtat de Surrey i Equip anglès de cricket d'Anglaterra que arribà a ser un dels més prolífics aconseguidors de carreres en els primers any del County Championship. Abel nasqué en Rotherhithe, Surrey, Anglaterra. Fou el primer jugador anglès en "portar el seu bat" (obrint el bat i no romandre en el final d'una entrada) a través d'un Test d'entrades. També fou el primer jugador en puntuar 2.000 carreres en temporades consecutives (de 1895 a 1902).
