Heres what CricBuzz says about him.
John Edrich also had a good conversion rate, scoring 12 hundreds and 24 fifties with his highest score of 310* against New Zealand in a mamooth innings win for England at Leeds. He is also remembered for being the receipient of one of the most painful head injuries. Late to duck to a Peter Pollock bouncer, which leapt from the Lord's slope, Edrich was pinged on the forehead and had to retire hurt on 7. Remember, helmets did not exist in those days.
Edrich holds the distinction of scoring 100 first-class centuries. In 1977, he was awarded an MBE for his outstanding contribution to cricket. Post retirement, John Edrich went on to become an ECB selector. Later in 2006-07, John Edrich presided Surrey Cricket Club.

Wisden overview
The youngest member of a prolific Norfolk cricket family, John Edrich was the sort of opening batsman every team-mate, and all selection panels, yearns for. A stocky left-hander of infinite discipline and courage, he knew his limitations and played to them unblinkingly, waiting for the right ball to put away. His main scoring areas were square on the off side, where he square-cut and punched either side of cover point with equal certainty, and through midwicket, where he was prolific. Years before batting helmets were even thought of, he was badly injured in 1965 when, following a sequence which brought him 1311 runs in nine innings, a triple-century against New Zealand, he ducked into a short ball from Peter Pollock, South Africa's fastest bowler of the 1960s. The ball seamed up the Lord's slope and hit Edrich on the forehead, knocking him cold. But as when Lillee broke two of his ribs at Sydney in 1974-75, it made no difference to Edrich's game at all: he just stayed in line and took whatever came his way. He was also a realist. On the rare occasions he was struggling for runs, he turned to Wisden to check how many runs he had made. "Twenty thousand, eh?" he would say to himself: "I can't be such a bad player after all!"
