| Description | Denis Compton at Hastings |
| Details |
Denis Compton turns a ball from spinner Jim Laker (out of picture) off his legs to score another boundary past the despairing reach of the short leg fielder as wicketkeeper Stewart 'Billy' Griffith looks on. Compton was playing for 'The South' against 'Sir Pelham Warner's Eleven' at the Central Recreation Ground, Hastings. During the match he passed the record for number of runs scored in a first class season previously held by Tom Hayward.
