Walter Reginald "Wally" Hammond (19 June 1903 – 1 July 1965) was an English Test cricketer who played for Gloucestershire in a career that lasted from 1920 to 1951. Beginning his career as a professional, he later became an amateur and was appointed captain of England. Primarily a middle-order batsman, Wisden Cricketers' Almanack described him in his obituary as one of the four best batsmen in the history of cricket. He was considered to be the best English batsman of the 1930s by commentators and those with whom he played; they also said that he was one of the best slip fielders ever. Hammond was an effective fast-medium pace bowler and contemporaries believed that if he had been less reluctant to bowl, he could have achieved even more with the ball than he did.
In a Test career spanning 85 matches, he scored 7,249 runs and took 83 wickets. Hammond captained England in 20 of those Tests, winning four, losing three, and drawing 13. His career aggregate of runs was the highest in Test cricket until surpassed by Colin Cowdrey in 1970. As of October 2010, his total of 22 Test centuries remains an English record, held jointly with Cowdrey and Geoffrey Boycott. In 1933, he set a record for the highest individual Test innings of 336 not out, surpassed by Len Hutton in 1938. In all first-class cricket, he scored 50,551 runs, the seventh highest total scored by any first-class cricketer as of January 2010, and took 732 wickets. He scored 167 first-class centuries, the third highest of any player as of January 2010.

Kontakt am Grund nur mit den Augen
Schwarzes Wasser, sanft entschwebend
Eingeschlafen wachgezählt
Und traumgeküsst in Schoß des Meeres
Wenn nichts mehr meinen Atem hält
Und der kalte Abendwind
Nur noch die Nebel mit sich bringt
Will ich fahr'n von dieser Welt
Und nehm' das Steuer in die Hand
Über Wogen zu dem Land
Hinter'm Nebel unter'm Horizont
Auf der Suche nach der Stille
Unerreichte, dunkle Tiefen
Die mit Engelszungen riefen
Mich hinab im Traume schwebend
Nicht mehr atmend, nicht mehr lebend
Einzug haltend, transformierend
Meerestrunken, traumgebärend
Unberührt und ungebunden
Und auf der Flucht vor meinem Sein
Treibt der Wind mich übers Meer
Ich will sein nun nimmermehr
Ich nehm' das Ruder in die Hand
Und fahre fort zu diesem Land
