Hello my friends of the Cricket Community.
Hope all of the members are in good health.
Today I will write a article about a cricketer who has the record of 199 hundreds. It is unbelievable, but he has made it possible.
The first recognized match of the cricket game was played in 1844. On the way from there, cricket has got innumerable heroes, innumerable memories which can be kept in the gems of memory. Thus cricket has immortalized in his memory a great hero whose name is Sir John Berry Jack Hobbs; He is known to be the first full-fledged batsman in the history of cricket. In the pages of Smriti he is intact as 'The Master'. Steven Smith-Virat Kohli-Joe Root will come to the fore when the name of one or two ideal batsmen of this era comes up. Sachin-Lara-Sangakkara will come a little later. Among them, Sachin has scored hundreds again. But even before that, batsman Jack Hobbs took the number of centuries to a double hundred at home in 199. He has scored 196 centuries in first-class cricket, the highest being 199K.
Sir John Berry Jack Hobbs, the owner of 199 Test centuries, is a former English cricketer. The English played for the national team from 1906 to 1930, sometimes during World War I. In his second year in international cricket, he was named Wisden's Cricketer of the Year. In 1926, Jack Hobbs was again named one of the top five cricketers of the twentieth century. Hobbs, who has 199 centuries in first-class cricket, has 61,060 first-class runs. Hobsai was also the first cricketer to get knighthood. Let us know the story behind all these successes, let us know from the very beginning.
Saturday, December 16, 182. The arrival of a new member in the family of a poor couple in Cambridge. Parents spend their time fighting poverty. The financial situation in the world is not very good. On top of that, he has 5 more brothers and sisters in his family. As the eldest of them, it was impossible to fulfill his hobbies in a world of poverty. In this deficient family, Hobbes knew cricket through his father, Senior Hobbes. Hobbs began to recognize cricket as his father's fielder and occasional umpire. The beginning of love is from there.
He would go with his father, watch the game, practice cricketers of different disciplines there and try to do it on his own. Hobbes practices alone; He didn't have a coach at a young age, his family probably didn't have the ability to send him to coach. He practiced alone, but Hobbs did not have a cricket bat. He used stamps with old tennis balls instead of bats. It certainly helped him. Hitting the ball with a thin stamp makes it easier for him to deal with a round ball with a wide bat.
Hobbs first appeared on an institutional cricket team when he was 12 years old. St. Matthews played for the Church XI, also for the York Street Boys. Then came a new tragedy in Tantani's family, with his father dying of pneumonia. 6 Hobbes, the eldest son of the siblings; In the absence of his father, he has to take care of the family. That is why he had to leave school at that age. He joined the service in 1985 at the age of 13 in search of a livelihood. Got the job of choice; Hobbs joined Cassus College as a fielder, as well as a groundsman and a net bowler with great pleasure. Another legend Ranjit Singji used to practice here. Hobbes saw his remarkable wrist movement, trying to master it. The county team also practiced here in Surrey. In 1901, Hobbs had the opportunity to play as a team between an amateur and a professional. He performed there and attracted the attention of local teams.
After his father's death, a friend of the family asked Tom Howard for some help with Hobbes. Note that Tom Hayward was the childhood hero of Hobbes. Howard agreed to bat Hobbs for 20 minutes and it happened. He has confirmed Hobbs' participation in the next trial on behalf of the Oval County team. Hobbes also tried the Essex trial, but was unable to do so until the end. In April 1903, Hobbes moved to Serie A to take part in the trial. That's where Bajimat comes to terms with fertilizer. Hobbes, contracted in 1903, officially took the field in 1905. In his debut match, he played an innings of 16 runs.
155 against Essex in the next match. He then had the opportunity to prove himself in a big way with the bat against the Australians who came to play in the Ashes, he played an innings of 99 runs. In the first 3 years of his career, he averaged 25.62, 40.60 and 36 in first-class cricket. 45. In 1906 he was called up to the English national team.
Jack Hobbs was inaugurated in early 1907. He scored 3 runs in the first innings against Australia. He was dismissed for 20 in the next two innings and remained unbeaten on 20 in the fourth innings. Hobbs scored his second half-century in the next innings, 0 and 72 in the next two innings. In the twelfth match of his career, he scored his first century for the national team in the 23rd innings. He scored 1 run in the first innings of the match against South Africa which started on 11 March 1910 in Cape Town. In his first year the international average was 43.14 and in first class it was 36.33. He scored three centuries in the series against Australia in the 1911-11 season. He has prophesied about himself with his acting. The rest of the years are record-breaking, century-record.
"Life begins after forty" - this proverb seems to be true of Jack Hobbs. He did most of the century after the age of 40. Six of the 15 centuries scored by the national team were of that period. Much more in first class. Between the ages of 43 and 47, he scored about 11,000 runs. He still holds the record for the oldest Test century (46 years 62 days). He set the record in March 1999 with his own century.
The next century was scored in 45 years 151 days. As I said at the beginning, he was twice named Wisden Cricketer of the Year in 1909 and 1929. He was named England's all-time leading Test XI in 2009. He is still in the top ten of the list of batsmen who have scored at least 3,000 runs in international Tests. In 1926, Jack Hobbs' highest average in international cricket was 61.00. In 1924, the average was the second highest at 85.28. At the start of his career in 1909, the lowest average was 26.
Although Hobbs is an opener, he has occasionally played in positions other than the opening. He has scored a total of 123 runs at the number five position at number five. His highest century in first-class cricket and his second highest half-century. He owns 295 half-centuries after 295. Hobbs scored a total of 33,339 runs with another English batsman, Herbert Sutliff, and 2,294 runs with Rhodes. Sir John Berry Jack Hobbs has played 1,325 innings in 6334 first-class matches. Highest unbeaten 318, average 50.60, 199 centuries, 273 half centuries. His performances in the prestigious era of first-class cricket are enough to remind him. There he set his own record in international matches, scoring 5,410 runs at an average of 5.94 in 611 matches. Jack Hobbs is the first batsman to score ten Test centuries for his country. Total 15 centuries, 27 half centuries.
He has 107 wickets in first-class cricket; He also has a record of taking wickets for 56 runs. 1 wicket in 2.63 economy in international matches. Anyone who looks at his statistics at a glance is bound to be amazed. And sometimes he could have done so much more if he hadn’t lost 5 years due to World War II. Hobbs, who survived World War II, continues to play better in new rhythms than before. He completed his 30-year career in 1939 in the black and white era. He last played international cricket in 1930. The first cricketer to receive the Knighthood Award in 1953, Jack Hobbs became 'Sir Jack Hobbs'. He died 10 years later on December 21, 1983 at the age of 81.
