Running into Hundreds is the autobiographical account of one of England’s most dependable and technically accomplished batsmen of the post-war era. Ken Barrington was renowned for his consistency and ability to compile big scores under pressure, particularly in Test cricket.
 
In this work, Barrington reflects on his development from a promising county player with Surrey to an international mainstay for England. The book provides insight into batting technique, match temperament, and the mental discipline required to convert starts into centuries—hence the title. It also captures the evolving nature of international cricket during the 1950s and early 1960s, offering valuable context for collectors of the era.
