Three times has he scored two separate hundreds in one match. Two instances by the Surrey man in 3 906 occurred in one week—a feat unparalleled in first-class matches, and in the season 1899 he scored three successive hundreds.
His partnerships with Hobbs, too, have been wonderful, nnd in 190S the pair accomplished a performance without equal by making over 100 together for the first wicket of Surrey four times in one week. In 190S, too, they made over 100 together for the first wicket of Surrey on three successive occasions within the space of five days.
It is worth noting that C. B. Fry has ninety-two hundreds to his credit, J. T. Tyldesley seventy-seven, Abel seventy-four, and the Jam Sahib seventy-two.
