Plaque 2: Clement "Clem" Hill (18 March 1877 - 5 September 1945). 49 Tests 3,412 runs 39.21 highest score 191. 252 first class 17,213 runs 43.57 highest score 365 not out. The world's highest run scorer in Test cricket at the time of his retirement in 1912 and regarded as the world's best left-hand batsman prior to the Second World War. Hill debuted for South Australia while still a schoolboy, aged 16. He made his Test debut at 19 in England and scored his maiden century (188) which is still the highest score in Ashes Tests by a player under 21. He was named one of Wisden's Cricketers of the Year in 1899. He captained the Australian team in 10 Tests and was the first batsman to make 1,000 Test runs in a calendar year, a feat that would not be repeated for 45 years. His innings of 365 scored against New South Wales for South Australia in 1900-01 was a Sheffield Shield record for 27 years. In the 1901-02 Ashes series Hill was dismissed in consecutive innings for 99, 98 and 97 a feat that may never be matched. Hill was inducted into the Australian Cricket Hall of Fame in 2005.
