Jack Hobbs

Sir John Berry 'Jack' Hobbs (born 16 December 1882 in Cambridge, England, died 21 December 1963 in Hove, Sussex) played cricket for Surrey and England. He scored more first-class runs (61,237 per Wisden, 61,760 per Cricinfo) and more first-class centuries (197 per Wisden, 199 per Cricinfo) than any other cricketer, records which will never be beaten as modern cricketers play fewer first class matches. He scored over 1,000 in 26 seasons. Only four men have scored over 1,000 in more seasons.
