Tag Cricket Records

Leonard Hutton holds the record for highest individual score by a batsman in Ashes tests! When we talk Australia vs England test cricket, we rarely miss one name = Don Bradman, specially when our topic is related to batting. Over 60 years since this great right hander quit the game, with an average of 99.96 from 52 tests, his achievements continue to challenge modern day batters.

But highest individual score by a batsman in Ashes test match is one important list of record Sir Donald Bradman comes second in.. behind Len Hutton who scored 364 from 847 balls at the Oval back in 1938, beating Bradman's 334 which was made 8 years and a month earlier. Bradman continued to play for over a decade since Len Hutton's record breaking innings, but got past double century only once.

Sir Leonard Hutton, a right handed batsman from Yorkshire, was just 21 year and few months old (and only a year old in International cricket) when he batted for over 13 hours to break the record for highest test score by a England batsman. 364 was the highest test match score by any batsman then, which was later broken by Sir Garfield Sobers of West Indies who went on to make 365.

During his marathon innings, Hutton collected 382 runs with Maurice Leyland for the second wicket which still stands as the highest partnership for England against Australia.

Len Hutton played 79 tests, made 6971 runs at an average of 56.67 with 19 century plus 33 fifties and also took 3 wickets with his leg spin bowling. Interestingly, Hutton wanted to be a footballer as a child but his father threw away his boot in fire and got him a cricket bat!
