10 best players of all time from Surrey

#1 Jack Hobbs

Jack Hobbs

Jack Hobbs was simply the most prolific run-getter in first-class history. His first-class numbers are staggering and stunning, to say the least.

With 61,760 runs, he is by far the highest run-getter in the first-class history. His 199 hundreds and 273 fifties are also the highest ever in the history of first-class cricket.

Hobbs was known as "The Master" and scored consistently throughout a long career that didn't end till he was past 50. Half of his hundreds came when he was over 40, and he remains, at 46, the oldest man to score a Test century.

His opening partnerships for England with Yorkshire's Herbert Sutcliffe are also part of the game's rich folklore. Surrey, with whom he spent over 30 years, honoured Hobbs by constructing a new entrance at the Oval in his name.
