In 1925 the 38-year-old Frank Woolley scored 3,069 first-class runs and took 110 wickets — one of the great all-round seasons in English county cricket and the formal peak of a career that would finish with 58,969 runs and 2,068 wickets, both still among the top five in cricket history.

South Australian left-hander Clem Hill, in 1902, scored 1,061 Test runs across the Ashes series in England and the immediately following series in South Africa — becoming the first batsman to make 1,000 Test runs in a calendar year. The record was not equalled until Don Bradman's 1948.
Australia v England
1898-01-01
On 1-3 January 1898, the 20-year-old Adelaide left-hander Clem Hill came in at 6 for 58 and made 188 — his maiden Test century, and still the highest Ashes Test score by a player under 21. Australia recovered to 520 and won by an innings. The innings established Hill as the central figure of Australian batting between Trumper and Bradman; he would average 39 across 49 Tests until 1912.
