John Langridge, 39 year old Sussex batsman who is pictured here has so far scored
John Langridge, 39 year old Sussex batsman who is pictured here has so far scored 1911 runs in 28 innings, including ten centuries. He has an excellent chance of beating the record Dennis Compton set up in 1947 when he scored 18 centuries during the season. Compton however did not score his temper hundred until August 2, which puts land rich out in front at the moment. Another record the Sussex batsmen is likely to break is Comptons 3816 runs, made in the same year.

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this monochrome print from the 20th century, we see John Langridge, a seasoned 39-year-old Sussex batsman. With an impressive tally of 1911 runs in just 28 innings, including ten centuries, Langridge is on the verge of etching his name into cricket history. His remarkable performance gives him a promising chance to surpass Dennis Compton's record of 18 centuries set back in 1947 during a single season. What sets Langridge apart is that he has achieved this feat much earlier than Compton did. As of now, Langridge stands at the forefront with his temper hundred already secured before August 2nd, leaving Compton trailing behind. Another record within reach for this talented Sussex batsman is Compton's monumental achievement of scoring 3816 runs in the same year. This photograph not only captures the determination and skill exuded by John Langridge but also serves as a testament to his potential to break long-standing records. The intensity in his eyes reflects his unwavering focus on achieving greatness within the realm of cricket. Taken by TopFoto. co. uk on July 7th, 1949, this image encapsulates both the timeless nature of sport and its ability to inspire generations through outstanding individual performances like that of John Langridge.
