Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Kenneth George 'Ken' Suttle was an English cricketer. He was primarily a left-handed batsman but was also a useful slow left-arm bowler. His first-class career with Sussex lasted from 1949 to 1971. He played in 612 first-class matches. This included an unbroken sequence of 423 consecutive County Championship matches between 1954 and 1969, which is still the record number. He made 30225 first-class runs at 31.09, with 49 centuries and a highest score of 204 , reaching 1000 runs in 17 successive seasons from 1953 to 1969.

He took 266 wickets at 32.80, with best innings figures of 6-64. He played in 55 'List A' one-day matches, and was a member of the Sussex side which won the Gillette Cup in 1963 and 1964... Mehr
