Len Hutton-An unknown record



Sir Leonard Len Hutton




Len Hutton is the only batsman in Tests to be given out for deliberately 'obstructing the field'. In a match between England and South Africa at The Oval in 1951, Hutton swatted away the ball which was about to land on the wickets after bouncing off from his bat. Wicketkeeper Russel Endean  , who was poised to catch the ball, appealed successfully against the batsman.
