International Regular
Fred Morley
He took 100 wickets in a season seven times, and in 1878 took 197 at 12.16.
In 1877 he took 13 for 14 for MCC against Oxford University (who were bowled out for 12)
In 1878 he took 15 for 35 on a bad pitch for Nottinghamshire against Kent.
In 1879-80 he toured Canada and the USA with Richard Daft and returned with 100 wickets at 3.54.
Ranjitsinhji
From 1895 he exceeded 1000 runs in 10 successive seasons, passing 3000 in 1899 and 1900.
Gilbert Jessop
286 out of 335 in 175 minutes for Gloucestershire against Sussex at Brighton, 1903 (he and J. H. Board adding 320 for the sixth wicket)
240 out of 337 in 200 minutes for Gloucestershire v. Sussex at Bristol, 1907
234 out of 346 in 155 minutes for Gloucestershire v. Somerset at Bristol, 1905
233 out of 318 in 150 minutes for An England XI v. Yorkshire at Lord's, 1901
206 out of 317 in 150 minutes for Gloucestershire v. Nottinghamshire at Trent Bridge, 1904.
SF Barnes
Barnes remained a deadly bowler long after he went out of first-class cricket. So shrewdly did he conserve his energy that in 1928 when he was in his mid-fifties, the West Indies team of that year faced him in a club match and unanimously agreed he was the best they had encountered in the season.
Bill Ponsford
In 1926-27, his innings were 214 and 54, 151, 352, 108 and 84, 12 and 116, 131 and 7, producing an aggregate of 1229 runs at 122.9
in 1927-28 he scored 133, 437, 202 and 38, 336, 6 and 2, and 63 - an aggregate of 1217 at 152.12.
His 336 against South Australia in January 1928 was his eleventh first-class hundred in consecutive matches in Australia.
Ponsford is the only player to have exceeded 400 twice.
He and Hammond, apart from Bradman who made six, are the only players to have hit four triple-centuries.
He shared in five partnerships of 375 or more
With Woodfull, whose career record so closely matched his own, he put together 23 three-figure partnerships, eighteen of them for the first wicket and twelve over 150.
In 162 first-class matches, he scored 13,819 runs at 65.18, an average only Bradman and Merchant have bettered among batsmen with more than 10,000 runs, and he hit 47 hundreds.
Patsy Hendren
In three summers he exceeded 3,000 runs; in 12 he made more than 2,000 and in 10 over 1,000.
Duleepsinhji
In his first innings in 1930 at Hove, he established a ground record with a magnificent 333 scored in a single day against Northamptonshire - the biggest score ever made for Sussex, exceeding the record of his uncle.
Brian Statham
At Lord's in 1955, he bowled unchanged in the second innings as South Africa were dismissed for 111 to lose a match they had been dominating. His figures were 29-12-39-7: it was a feat of endurance even allowing for a lunch break extended to two hours by bad light.
