Can you beat for the cricket guru title?

[JASON]

Hint - Different country.

Also I am sure this Question has been asked by me before . So a search through these pages may give the answer.

Is it Dean Headley? Though I think it was his dad and grandad who played for the Windies, I thought I'd have a stab.

Not Headley , but Heath you have got the right country .

Edit could be misleading - the Country is West Indies.

Thank you. I didn't need to check after that clue

Mahendra Nagamooootooooo is the cricketer. Rohan Kanhai is one of the uncles. The other, IIRC, is Kallicharran.

Correct . Rohan Kanhai and Alvin Kallicharan were absolutely top class batsmen who had blazing careers for the West Indies. Mahendra Nagamootoo unfortunately was a spinner whose career did not really take off.

Tapioca your turn to post question . Don't let us down.

 

[JASON]

Tapioca , When are you going to post a question?

 

[Tapioca]

This may be better suited to the SJS format :

Nine cricketers have done performed this feat, three of whom are Herbert Sutcliffe, Hanif Mohammad and Sunil Gavaskar. But the stats books word this record slightly differently - they add the word "all" to it - because of which these three do not get included in the list. Only the other six are usually mentioned as the players who have done this.

What record etc etc ?

 

[Tapioca]

To phrase it another way :

If you ask "Who/Which blah blah blah all blah blah ?" - and this is the usual way it is done - the answer will be six cricketers

But if the question is only "Who/Which blah blah blah blah blah ?" , there are nine who have done that, the first six plus Sutcliffe, Hanif and SMG.

(The number of blahs does not necessarily correspond to the number of missing words !)

Is it to do with scoring centuries in each innings of a test?

Batting on each of the 5 days of Test vs Batting on all 5 days of Test ?

Batting on 5 days of Test v All 5 days of Test

Batting on each of the 5 days of Test vs Batting on all 5 days of Test ?

Didn't expect it to get cracked so quickly

Well done

 

[Tapioca]

Batting on each of the 5 days of Test vs Batting on all 5 days of Test ?

Batting on 5 days of a Test vs Batting on all 5 days of a Test, to be precise.
