Wilfred Rhodes, unquestionably one of the game's greats. In a 58-Tesr career from 1899 to 1930 he scored 2325 runs at 30.19 and took 127 wickets at 26.96; in all cricket he played 1110 matches scoring 39969 runs at 30.81 and taking 4204 wickets at 16.72, aggregates that will never be matched. Oh, and he also held 765 catches. In his final year, aged 52, he played four Tests.

Most welcome comments of support from @edwardscricket in latest Ashes Christmas issue of @TheCricketerMag for my recent biography of the troubled Northants and England cricketer Fred Bakewell. Thanks Paul! Copies still available via @ACScricket
I'm not sure if I'm terrified or amazed (or both) at what AI can do to a humble still image of @DerbyshireCCC openers Ian Hall and Peter Gibbs walking out to bat at Derby over fifty years ago...
The November issue of The Cricket Statistician is a tribute to @ACScricket founder Robert Brooke, who edited the journal's first 52 issues. He died earlier this year.
It also features Simon Wilde on Gilbert Jessop’s famously fast Test hundred, and David Frith on his career as a cricket magazine editor.
