Player Story

Percy George Herbert Fender was an English cricketer who played 13 Tests for his country and was captain of Surrey between 1921 and 1931. An all-rounder, he was a middle-order batsman who bowled mainly leg spin, and completed the cricketer's double seven times. Noted as a belligerent batsman, in 1920 he hit the fastest recorded first-class century, in terms of time rather than balls received, reaching three figures in only 35 minutes, which remains a record as of 2025. On the basis of his Surrey captaincy, contemporaries judged him the best captain in England.
