Some of the great players of the game, it is true, never completed either feat.-England's latest сар- tain is a case in point-but their failure to do so has almost invari-

ably been due to restriction of opportunity, not insufficiency · of skill. As a rough and ready rule 00 per cent. of the greatest of modern cricketers have completed one or the other or both.

In the last 33 seasons (1000-38) 524 cricketers have scored 1,000 runs or taken 100 wickets in an English senson, and 61 of them have accom- plished both feats in the same season. The geographical istribution of these players Is us follows;

In the 15 seasons preceding the war the most prolific seasUTE for 1,000's was 1001 when 60 were completed. During the last 18 sea- sons this number hus been equalled or exceede in 13, and in three- 1929, 1933 and 1934-01 hugregates of 1,600 runs or more were recorded, These figures certainly seem to suge get that for a considerable period, the batsman has been on top.

MEAD'S FEAT

A few of the more remarkable} feats provided by these facts may be noted. In 27 consecutive sea- sons C. P. Mead has never failed

to reach a four figure aggregate, and Woolley has done so in seasons. J. B. Hobbs scored 2,000 run in 17 seasons, Hendren has done so in 15 and Sutcliffe in 14.

Four Fosters and four Gunns have scored 1,000 runs in a season during the perixi, the fatter having 45 such aggregates between them.

Several batsmen have scored 1,000 runs in their first seasons, but for a bowler

to take 100 wickets in similar, circumstances is it much rarer feat." In 191 however, A. Waddington, of Yorkshire, took 100 wickets for 18,74 runs in his first season.
