Incredible player, and the highest class of a gentleman

What a player, real cricket, legend, great Sir Jack Hobs

[@lonestar6709]

Yes. He wasn't called 'The Master' for nothing. No one played the sticky uncovered wicket better than Sir Jack Hobbs. It's a shame more people don't know about him isn't it? He's the opener for my all time team.

@@Arjun-ej7fj yep, but Hobbs way outclassed Trumper on good wickets. That's why he was the master; he made runs on any kind of wicket.

[@Arjun-ej7fj]

@@BinaryRex18 ohh.. Yes Hobbs is the best in wet wickets.. I guess Trumper and Hammond follow Hobbs in this criteria

Twinkling foot-work. A must learn opener's technique so easy to practice after watching the GREAT GENTLEMAN in action. Thanks for uploading this video.

[@paulbradshaw303]

Incredible historic footage. Pointless to compare different era's and I'm sure the greats would excel in any era. Imagine the old era players with modern training and equipment.

[@augustedupin9576]

Really interesting to see how batting technique has evolved over the years.

[@postscript67]

Was that Douglas Jardine in his Harlequins cap at the other end when Hobbs equalled Grace's record?

[@antonyhobbs1144]

I'm researching my family tree to find out if I'm related to the Master

[@rajarshimukherjee4844]

Even now he is the highest run scorer in tests against australia , the second highest being sachin

[@balajisethuraman8436]

Those times, most of the tests were between Aus & Eng only !

[@balajisethuraman8436]

While one must appreciate & admire the records and achivements of Jack Hobbs..... I could see very military medium pace bowling attack on this video .... Are these bowlers comparable with the great Windies bowlers of the late 70 and 80s ?

Anyone after Slumdog Millianour

You should post videos like shane warnes incredible ashes or wasim akrams deviation skills

[@BenCohen-wg4jx]

His batting technique looks similar to Steve Smith.

[@mdsamirabdullahchowdhury8241]

How come this guy is called a stylish batsman..He is highly effective on his era but by no means comparable to the technical correctness and eyesoothingness of modern era stylish batsmen...

[@RMUlyate]

Actually, he wasn't known especially for his "stylishness"...
