Andy Sandham’s top 3 performances

Andy Sandham was a part of the English cricket team in the 1920s and 1930s, when they were the best team in the world. While Australia posed a challenge for their supremacy, England maintained their forte by consistently winning Ashes both at home and down under.

Sandham played 14 Tests, batted in 23 instances for England, and scored 879 runs at an average of 38.22, including two hundreds, one of which was a triple hundred. Sandham either batted too well or could not bat well at all in most of the matches he played.
