You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 3.89.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪L235‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 18:20, 24 March 2026.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''Andrew Sandham''' (6 July 1890 – 20 April 1982) was an English [[cricket]]er, a right-handed [[batsman (cricket)|batsman]] who played 14 [[Test cricket|Test matches]] between 1921 and 1930. Sandham made the first [[triple century]] in [[Test cricket]], 325 against the West Indies in 1930, and scored over 40,000 [[first-class cricket|first-class]] runs.

== Biography ==
Born in [[Streatham]], London, Sandham made his [[Surrey County Cricket Club|Surrey]] debut in 1911, and was [[county cap|capped]] in 1913. In his 26 years at the county Sandham formed a formidable opening partnership with [[Jack Hobbs]], and the two put on a hundred for the first wicket on 66 occasions, the highest of these the 428 they accumulated against [[Oxford University Cricket Club|Oxford University]] in 1926. He passed 2,000 runs in eight seasons, and during the middle part of his career between 1924 and 1931 [[batting average (cricket)|averaged]] above 50 in all but two years. He scored an unbeaten 292 against Northants, being denied his triple century only by Percy Fender's declaration, and still holds three record Surrey partnerships, including the 173 he put on with [[Andy Ducat]] for the 10th wicket at Leyton after suffering a bout of food poisoning.<ref name="300 club">((cite web|last=Frith|first=David|title=The first member of the 300 club|date=8 December 2007|url=http://www.cricinfo.com/wisdencricketer/content/current/story/322538.html|work=ESPNcricinfo|access-date=7 October 2010))</ref>

Sandham made his [[English cricket team|England]] debut [[Australian cricket team in England in 1921|in 1921]] against [[Australian cricket team|Australia]], inching his way to 21 in 81 minutes before being bowled by a 'snorter' from [[Ted McDonald]]. He went to South Africa in 1922–23 but made only one half-century in his nine innings, and though he was named as a [[Wisden Cricketer of the Year]] in 1923, he again failed to make much of an impression either against [[South African cricket team|the South Africans]] in 1924 or in Australia the following winter. In 1924 [[Herbert Sutcliffe]] made his Test debut, and his success as Hobbs' opening partner restricted Sandham's opportunities subsequently. He played only five innings against Australia during his career and thought that the greatest regret of his career.<ref name="300 club"/> Sandham went to South Africa in 1926–27 and scored heavily in the matches against domestic opposition, averaging above 60, but was not picked for any of the Tests.

However, he did play in the [[Caribbean]] series [[English cricket team in West Indies in 1929–30|in 1929–30]], and it was here that he achieved his greatest fame. In the first Test at [[Bridgetown]] he made 152 and 51. In the next two games he failed completely, making 0 and 5 at [[Port of Spain]] and then 9 and 0 at [[Georgetown, Guyana|Georgetown]]. In the fourth and final Test at [[Kingston, Jamaica|Kingston]], however, he became the first [[Test triple-centurion]] when he compiled a mammoth 325 out of England's equally imposing total of 849, beating [[R. E. Foster]]'s individual Test score record of 287, which had stood for twenty-seven years. The theoretically timeless match was in fact abandoned as a draw after nine days, but Sandham had still had time to make 50 in the second innings; he had scored 592 runs in the series. His aggregate of 375 in the match stood as the Test record until [[Greg Chappell]] eclipsed it. He made the runs with a long-handled bat borrowed from his captain [[Freddie Calthorpe]] and a pair of ill-fitting boots borrowed from [[Patsy Hendren]].<ref name="300 club"/> At 39 years and 272 days, he is, by almost five years, the oldest player to break the individual scoring record in Tests.

Sandham went to South Africa with MCC in 1930/31. He broke a bone in his ankle in a motor accident in [[Durban]] in December. It required a small operation and ended his tour after two first-class matches. The Kingston Test was therefore to be Sandham's final match at Test level, and his 325 is by some distance the highest score in a final Test match.

He continued to appear regularly for Surrey for a number of years, scoring 219 against the touring Australians in 1934, a record for a county player against that opposition. He recorded his hundredth first-class hundred in 1935 on a damp pitch at Basingstoke, reaching the milestone with 'a flick behind square'. He made 239 against [[Glamorgan County Cricket Club|Glamorgan]] as late as June 1937, only a month short of his 47th birthday. He scored 102 in his final match in England, against [[Sussex County Cricket Club|Sussex]] at [[Hove]], but had an unusual end to his career, playing three games at [[Buenos Aires]] for Sir TEW Brinkman's XI against [[Argentina]] in 1937–38. These matches were designated as first-class, and so he ended with a whimper, not reaching 30 in any of his six innings in South America.

After [[World War II|the war]], Sandham returned to Surrey as coach and delighted in the county's seven successive [[County Championship]] titles in the 1950s, later becoming the club's scorer. He died in 1982 in [[City of Westminster|Westminster]], London. He was a Catholic.<ref>((Cite web|url=https://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/107349187|title = Famous Catholic Cricketers: Internationals Interviewed|newspaper = Catholic Press (Sydney, NSW : 1895 – 1942)|date = 5 March 1925|page = 19))</ref>
