A bit of trivia
Rutherford was Brian Close's last first-class wicket. At the age of 55, he had Rutherford caught behind in this match at the end of the 1986 English season at Scarborough. Loganberry (Talk) 15:12, 9 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Mind you, Rutherford had made 317 by that time, so may not have been too bothered! Loganberry (Talk) 19:52, 19 October 2009 (UTC)

Slow runner
Ken was possibly the slowest man ever to play first class cricket. There is some film of him running on Youtube: he looks like he is wearing diving boots. Once at the MCG, when he was fielding at long off, it took the whole tea interval for him to reach the pavilion gate. To the amusement of the crowd, the poor sod had to turn straight round and jog back. --OhNoPeedyPeebles (talk) 18:27, 18 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Slower than Mark Richardson? That would take some doing! And since the tea interval lasts 20 minutes, I have my doubts about that second story too. If you can find solid sources for them, then by all means mention them, but simple anecdotes obviously won't be enough. Loganberry (Talk) 19:54, 19 October 2009 (UTC)
