Pitches are like wives, you never know how they're going to turn out.

A woman trying to play cricket is like a man trying to knit.

- Sir Len Hutton (Yorkshire County Cricket and England captain)

Braoness Rachael Heyhoe-Flint OBE: Hold my knitting needles beer.

Rachael Heyhoe Flint was best known for being captain of England from 1966 to 1978, and was unbeaten in six Test series: in total, she played for the English women's cricket team from 1960 to 1982. In 2010 she became the first woman to be inducted into the International Cricket Council’s Hall of Fame. She was made a Conservative Party peer in the House of Lords in 2011 for her work in cricket and philanthrophy. Before her death in 2017 she was seen by many as the W.G. Grace of women’s cricket.

If there’s a single key to Hutton’s character, it almost certainly lies in his upbringing in the Moravian community of Fulneck, Pudsey, with its traditions of Christian discipline, hard work, self-denial, perseverance and a certain amount of bloody-minded obstinacy. They were qualities he never lost.

Christopher Sandford: True grit of Len Hutton a century after master batsman’s birth.

Oh! Then he must have been related to Joseph E. Hutton, the Victorian Moravian minister whose history of the Moravian church I’m currently reading.
