- Walter Reginald Hammond, known as Wally Hammond was an English cricketer, who played for Gloucestershire and England, in a career that straddled (and was disrupted by) the Second World War. Primarily a right-handed middle-order batsman, Hammond also bowled medium-fast and was an excellent fielder, generally at slip. A holder of numerous batting records, his Test batting average of 58.45, over twenty years and 85 Tests, stands eighth in the all-time list, as of March 2009. Hammond's 336 not out against New Zealand at Auckland in 1933 was the highest Test innings score, until passed by Len Hutton's 364 against Australia five years later, although it still remains the highest score by an Englishman in a Test Match abroad. His seven Test double centuries has only been surpassed by Donald Bradman and Brian Lara and he equally holds the number of Test centuries for England with Colin Cowdrey and Geoffrey Boycott, who both played in more Tests and had more innings than Hammond, who all scored 22 centuries each. In First Class Cricket he has the highest average amongst those batsmen who have scored in excess of 50,000 first class runs. Only Jack Hobbs and Patsy Hendren have scored more first-class centuries, again having had many more innings than Hammond and only Bradman has more first-class scores in excess of 200. Hammond twice scored double centuries in consecutive matches — 251 and 200 against Australia at Sydney and Melbourne in 1928-29 and 227 and 336* against New Zealand at Christchurch and Auckland in 1932-33. Hammond's medium-fast bowling was good enough to twice claim five wickets in a Test innings, including one on Test debut, and he opened the bowling or bowled first change on a semi-regular basis for England from his debut until the war. He took 732 first-class wickets in all, and thrice claimed ten wickets in a first-class match. Hammond was also a magnificent fielder, claiming 110 catches for England in his 85 Tests and 819 in all First Class Cricket. In 1928 he set a World Record 10 catches in a match for Gloucestershire against Surrey at Cheltenham, while his 79 catches taken that season also remain a World Record. Throughout his career he was constantly compared with his Australian rival Donald Bradman. Although never seeing fully eye-to-eye, before his death Bradman stated that their rivalry was often overplayed and paid Hammond the ultimate accolade in naming him in his all-time World XI.
