3 unusual facts about Glenn Turner


Glenn Turner

In all, he played 455 first-class matches, amassing 34,346 runs at 49.70, including 103 centuries—making him one of a select few to score a "century of centuries", one of only four non-English cricketers to do so (the others being Donald Bradman, Zaheer Abbas and Viv Richards).

Among the eight batsmen who have done this, only Turner and Donald Bradman did it while playing for a touring team.

Ravinder Senghera

Worcestershire declared their first innings at 388/1 (Turner 202*) and eventually won by an innings, so Senghera did not get to bat, but he claimed five wickets in the match, his maiden scalp being that of Peter Hayes.
