Herbert "Bert" Strudwick (28 January 1880 – 14 February 1970) was an English professional cricketer who played for Surrey and England as wicket-keeper. During his career, his record of 1493 dismissals is the third highest by any wicket-keeper in the history of first-class cricket.
Strudwick first played for Surrey in a few games in 1902, but during his first full season the following year he dismissed a record 91 batsmen (71 catches and 20 stumpings) – a feat made more remarkable by the decline of Surrey's top fast bowlers Tom Richardson and William Lockwood and the exceptionally wet weather of that summer.
He played his first Test in 1909/1910 against South Africa. In 1911, though overshadowed in county cricket by Kent veteran Fred Huish, Studwick was chosen as the first-choice wicket-keeper to Australia because of his relative youth.
After World War I halted county cricket, Strudwick re-established himself in the England side until he retired in 1927 – though he was dropped to improve the batting during the disastrous 1921 series against Armstrong's Australia. After his playing days he became a respected coach and for many years was the Surrey scorer.
Thomas Walter Hayward (29 March 1871 – 19 July 1939) was an English first-class cricketer who played for Surrey and England between the 1890s and the outbreak of World War I. He was primarily an opening batsman, noted especially for the quality of his off-drive. He was only the second batsman to reach the landmark of 100 first-class centuries, following WG Grace. In the 1906 English season he scored 3,518 runs, a record aggregate since surpassed only by Denis Compton and Bill Edrich in 1947.
Leonard Charles Braund (18 October 1875 – 23 December 1955) was a cricketer who played for Surrey, Somerset and England. He was an all-rounder, a versatile batsman who could defend or attack according to the needs of the game and a leg break bowler who used variation more than accuracy to take wickets. He was also regarded by contemporaries as the best slip fielder of his time.
Braund played 21 times from 1896 for Surrey before joining Somerset, where he had to qualify for County Championship games by residence. His proper career starts from 1901, and in his first full season he scored more than 1,000 runs and took over 100 wickets. Meanwhile, Braund had become a Test cricketer, selected for the 1901–02 England tour of Australia. Named as one of the Wisden Cricketers of the Year in 1902. In all, he played 23 Tests, scoring 987 runs and taking 47 wickets.
After retiring, Braund coached at Cambridge University and was a first-class umpire for 18 seasons to 1938, standing in three Test matches between 1926 and 1929.
Arthur Frederick Augustus "Dick" Lilley (28 November 1866 – 17 November 1929) was an English cricketer who played for Warwickshire and England. He played in 35 Tests from 1896 to 1909, more than any other England wicket-keeper in the first sixty years of Test cricke
