His 100 at The Oval on a bad pitch was perhaps his greatest Test innings, and his 316 not out against Middlesex set the record for the highest innings ever played at Lord’s, which stood until 1990 when G.A.Gooch scored 333 for England against India. In partnership with Andy Sandham, Hobbs set a first-wicket partnership record at The Oval when they added 428 against Oxford University in June. Own Team O M R W Opp Ct Total Total 601.
