I'm more impressed that he had enough balls to afford this challenge. Literally.

The Australian keeper Ben Barnett, playing in his only test series, missed stumping Hutton when he was on 40. Barnett served in WW2 when he was captured during the fall of Singapore and spent several years on the notorious Burma railway.

Len Hutton scored the highest ever Test score at the time of 364 during this innings. A record that stood for 20 years. I have a Len Hutton Autograph (the name of the bat is Autograph, it's not signed) made by Slazenger that was made in 1950. Put side to side by today's bats it looks like a chopstick, I would say literally half the thickness of the Kookaburra Beast that I play with. when put side by side.

Never thought there'd be a day where I willingly watched somebody face 800+ deliveries in a single video but hey here we are

In that same game where Len Hutton played 847 balls, two other players played 400+ bowls - Maurice Leyland (438) and Joe Hardstaff (400)

Querying whether this counts as Dan self harming or not. Can see the gradual descent into madness. You're some man Dan!

@3:57 "it was pre-Bodyline" Bodyline was 1932-33 so before this innings.

Literally out over 10 times 😂😂😂😂

It seemed like the length of the challenge changed the way you played. You left a lot outside off stump, far more than you usually seem to. You also seemed a lot more comfortable than previous batting exploits. All that training must be helping! I'm sad you didn't raise the bat at 100, though. EDIT: "Just an absolute lapse in concentration!" Did you get a 40 min break for lunch, a 20 min break for tea, and a teammate to talk to? Did the bowlers get tired? No, so don't be so hard on yourself, goddammit!

Really enjoyed this video and concept! Keep it up Dan!

Len Hutton! Really enjoyed this Dan, was great to have some longer form content and hear more of your voice and sense of humour!

You should have gone for one more extra shot to surpass the record😢

Hell of an effort Dan mate. Both from a mental and physical stand point. Great video and well survived hehe.

Len Hutton! Great video Dan. Forever love the content ❤🏏

Len Hutton. Great work Dan, not easy doing that. Especially with a game in the evening too!

Len Hutton. Absolute monster effort! I'm currently in bed with a torn calf. Season might be over for me and I'm gutted. Happy to bowl 847 balls in a session if it means I'm bowling again :P

Proper skill to be a good test batsmen, to stay focused every ball against top class batters as well as being under pressure….. that’s why I love watching tests over t20

And the first man to congratulate Len Hutton was Don Bradman. And Bradman twisted his ankle when bowling and had to leave the ground for the only time in his career.

1:31 bails not come off Dan🤔

len hutton how impressive that is it face 846 deliveries and good on ya dan for facing 847 what a legend

Proper masochism to subject yourself to this, and us to watch this all the way through. That was fun to watch. I will say that you are being super generous not giving yourself out a few times. The legspin accounted for atleast 4 wickets before you reached a hundred in my eyes.

Unbelievable patience. Liked and subscribed.

Len Hutton.Great patience and perseverance mate.Good job.As a player I know how physically tough this is.Well done

That thumbnail is so well made good stuff I am going to watch the vid soon I already know it’s going to be a banger Edit: I watched the whole thing as expected it was a banger only Dan can make a 847 ball innings video seem interesting and ''Len Hutton" I think that's the spelling

This is my idea of heaven. Just batting for fun and seeing what happens. You’re living my dream

That some doing. Even by your own admission if you weren't concentrating on some shots. The graft here was both mentally and physically exhausting by the looks of it. Well played!

Len Hutton! Supreme effort Dan... all credit to you!

Led Hutton! I was able to watch the whole thing without getting bored at all. It kept me involved like a real match!

You got out on the 9th ball. You clipped it and if you watch carefully the wickets moved. Well done though, you managed to survive 8 balls. :)

1:31 how's that!!!

Well done mate! And amazing patience !

I faced about 140 odd deliveries for about 40 odd a year or 2 back. couple games later we versed the top team and i made 20 runs not out off 120 deliveries.. won the game though. It does help we play 2 days of 80 overs, i usually open. Definitely have to be concentrated for that long though.

4:03 an innings in 1938 was not pre body line

Len Hutton. One thing that might have helped with the fatigue (a tiny bit) would have been to use a bat of the weight Hutton would have used. His would have been significantly lighter in 1938.

Another brilliant video Dan 🎉🎉🎉

Loool bro you probably got out like 20 times need to do this without getting out

LEN HUTTON! great work dan

Dan is just like me when I bat talk about past cricket and commentary on my own batting

Glen Hutton

Is it just me who thinks that the place is looking a bit spooky🤔

Len Hutton. Great video Dan.

Now we understand why len hutton is such legend even after 80-90 years 😅😅😅😅😅

Would like to see you try this again with 1937 equipment

I play at the club where Len Hutton learned to play cricket

len hutton (cant believe you did this dan the amount of guts to do this wow)

Another bagging video keep up the good work dan

2:05 try putting more emphasis on doing it on the front foot rather than coming with both cuz if u miss it and it’s not bowled you’ll get stumped. Just some small advice!

I'd like DRS on a few of those! Looked like it should've been more like 400/15

Len Hutton. Good effort. I’m sure some of your slogs would have been caught

1930s, they definitely used their pad a lot more, both outside leg and outside off! Leg spinners’ pitch would be outside leg stump on practically every ball. Otherwise a good video.

Len Hutton! Crazy effort content this!

Longest test innings was Hanif Mohammad's 337 vs. West Indiies in 1958.

Brilliant effort

How about recreating Dean Jones's double century in India, 1986, made in 40°C heat and 95% humidity?

Len Hutton. Loving the stuff Dan, are you going to any of the hundred games??

I always thought it was Sibley taking that long to get to 7

Lindwall and Miller were not "considered right arm medium ". They were quick. Ray Lindwall was often likened to Dennis Lillie .

I'd genuinely love to try this, how long did it take you, an entire day?

Then add in 85m/h class bowlers and good spinners, deteriorating pitch and ball, weather, fielders and so much more

Len Hutton 👏

I was eight at the time and can just remember my father talking about it

Keep up the graft 🎉🎉😊😊

You need to try this again with contemporary kit from the time! #Len Hutton!

That was a 9 day game 364*....timeless test...needs to be put into perspective.

1938 was post bodyline actually.

What a different but great video ideal

Should've found similar kit, they probably wore heavier clothing and the conditions would've been certainly different then playing indoors, do it in an outside net next time.

How many hours did this take because fair play thats some stamina

it was post bodyline by nearly 10 years Danny boy!

Remember when it looked like cook was going to beat this in uae

Len Hutton. DAN THE GOAT

u look like Philliph Hughes, Australian cricketer

len hutton = danny boi!

It was Chris Tavaré... he scored 5.

Pujara and karun nair, said hi dan😂

5:33

you should try 16 hours of Batting by Hanif Muhammad

len hutton

5:32

What mph was the pace bowling

It was pre-Bodyline? It was 6 years AFTER Bodyline....

Did Pujara collab with you on this one?

Len Hutton 👍

best part after batting this long is england won by an innings and almost 600 runs

All right arm? There were 87 overs of left arm wrist spin, resulting in a record for most runs conceded (298) that still stands today.

YESSS MATE!!!!!!

Video suggestion: Order a cricket kit from Pakistan, and review it.

Len Hutton

Bring back hutton to train England how to play spin😂

The amount of leading ages back to the bowler and catches that went to silly point and short leg. It should have been all out by 200.

Why does it all look like they’re being bowled across you as if it’s left arm over?

Posted on Len Hutton’s birthday

9 balls in and inside edge onto stumps. I’m confused why you continued?

How often did you have to reset the machine

Glen huton

bro literally got out 1:30 seconds in

Do Rahul Dravid challenge 1 run for 100 balls 😆

How long does it takes you to complete this task? I mean how many hours... Interesting video btw❤

*Dedication*
