W.G. Grace 268 vs North — Champion's Year, 1871
South v North (representative match)
1871-08-01
W.G. Grace's 268 for South against North at The Oval in August 1871 was the highest score of his career to that point and the centrepiece of an extraordinary season in which he became the first cricketer to pass 2,000 first-class runs in a summer. He averaged 78.25 — twice anyone else — and made ten of the 17 first-class centuries scored in England that year.
