Len Hutton

Sir Leonard "Len" Hutton (23 June 1916 – 6 September 1990) was an English Test cricketer, who played for Yorkshire and England before and after the Second World War as an opening batsman. ''Wisden Cricketers' Almanack'' described him as one of the greatest batsmen in the history of cricket. He set a record in 1938 for the highest individual innings in a Test match in only his sixth Test appearance, scoring 364 runs against Australia, a milestone that stood for nearly 20 years (and remains an England Test record). In 1952, he became the first professional cricketer of the 20th Century to captain England in Tests; under his captaincy England won the Ashes the following year for the first time in 19 years. Following the war, he was the mainstay of England's batting, and the team depended greatly on his success.
Marked out as a potential star from his teenage years, Hutton made his debut for Yorkshire in 1934 and quickly established himself at county level. By 1937, he was playing for England and when the war interrupted his career in 1939, critics regarded him as one of the leading batsmen in the country, and even the world. However, during the war, he received a serious injury to his arm while taking part in a commando training course. His arm never fully recovered, forcing him to alter his batting style. When cricket restarted, Hutton resumed his role as one of England's leading batsmen; by the time of England's tour to Australia in 1950–51, the team relied heavily on his batting and did so for the remainder of his career. As a batsman, Hutton was cautious and built his style on a sound defence. Although capable of attacking strokeplay, both Yorkshire and England depended on him, and awareness of this affected his style. Hutton remains statistically among the best batsmen to have played Test cricket.
Hutton captained the England Test team between 1952 and 1955, although his leadership was at times controversial. He pursued a cautious approach and faced criticism for negativity. Never comfortable in the role, Hutton felt that the former amateur players who administered and governed English cricket did not trust him. In 23 Tests as captain, he won eight Tests and lost four with the others drawn. Worn out by the mental and physical demands of his role, Hutton retired from regular first-class cricket during the 1955 season. He was knighted for his contributions to cricket in 1956. He went on to be a Test selector, a journalist and broadcaster. He also worked as a representative for an engineering firm until retiring from the job in 1984. Hutton remained involved in cricket, and became Yorkshire president in 1990. He died a few months afterwards in September 1990, aged 74.
==Early life==

Hutton was born on 23 June 1916 in the Moravian community of Fulneck, Pudsey. He was the youngest of the five children of Henry Hutton and Lily (née Swithenbank);〔 many of the family played local cricket.〔 From 1921, Hutton attended Littlemoor Council School in Pudsey.〔Howat, pp. 4–6.〕〔 He soon became immersed in cricket, which he both played and read about with enthusiasm.〔 He joined the Pudsey St Lawrence Cricket Club as a junior; at the age of 12, he made his first appearance for the club's second eleven and by 1929 had reached the first team.〔Howat, pp. 6–7.〕 Locals encouraged him to meet the Yorkshire and England cricketer Herbert Sutcliffe, a neighbour, from whom Hutton received coaching in Sutcliffe's garden. Sutcliffe was impressed by the young batsman, and commended him to Yorkshire as a good prospect.〔〔Hill, p. 170.〕
Following this endorsement, Hutton went to the county's indoor practice shed at Headingley in February 1930.〔Howat, p. 7.〕 George Hirst, a former Yorkshire cricketer responsible for assessing and coaching young players, believed that Hutton's batting technique was essentially already complete.〔 Bill Bowes, the Yorkshire pace bowler, was equally impressed, and helped Hutton to correct a minor flaw in his technique.〔 Hutton was sufficiently encouraged to decide to attempt a career in professional cricket, but at the prompting of his parents decided to learn a trade as well.〔 He spent 1930 studying technical drawing and quantitative work at Pudsey Grammar School, before joining his father at a local building firm, Joseph Verity. After joining Yorkshire as a professional, Hutton continued to work for the company during the winter months in the years until the Second World War.〔〔Howat, p. 8.〕 Also during 1930, Hutton watched the Australian Don Bradman hit 334 not out at Headingley in a Test match, then a record individual score in Tests—which Hutton himself would surpass eight years later.〔
