W.G. Grace's 1873 Double — First 1,000 Runs and 100 Wickets in a Season

In 1873 W.G. Grace became the first cricketer to score 1,000 first-class runs and take 100 first-class wickets in the same English season. He repeated the feat seven more times before 1886. The 'Grace double' set the bar for the all-rounder's season for the next century.
