C.B. Fry — Six Consecutive First-Class Centuries, 1901

Between 14 August and 11 September 1901 the Sussex amateur Charles Burgess Fry scored six first-class hundreds in successive innings: 106 v Hampshire, 209 v Yorkshire, 149 v Middlesex, 105 v Surrey, 140 v Kent and 105 for Rest of England v Yorkshire. The sequence remains the joint record (later equalled by Don Bradman in 1938-39) for consecutive first-class hundreds.
