New Cricket Trivia - 'SJS format'

[archie mac]

To let others in on this: "His treatment of a drunken Bobby Peel has gone into the game's folklore - he ******ed him off the field and, as Peel himself sarcastically noted: "Lord Hawke put his arm round me and helped me off the ground - and out of first-class cricket. What a gentleman!" "

Is it to do with a cricketing record held by Lord Hawke, archie?...(this is a long shot btw)

To complete the story Bobby Peel had just 'watered the pitch'

No, this may be too hard, it is something do to with his passion for his county

Okay an easy one

What thing did one of the Aussies achieve in one of the Tests in 1921 that would have made Lord Hawke a little annoyed?

Name the thing and the player?

1. Was the player involved a very fat guy ?

Sammy Carter played for Aus despite being born in Yorkshire. Plus he was the only Yorkshireman playing in the Headingley test.

Well done mate, your turn

OK. Apologies in advance if it's too easy.

The player I'm thinking of is a test cricketer whose father and grandfather also played test cricket.

As far as I know; but maybe someone from the Subcontinent?

No, there is also Jahangir Khan - Majid Khan - Bazid Khan.

Jim Parks Sr and Jim Parks Jr played for England in 1930s and 1960s. Bobby Parks (son of the latter) kept wickets as a substitute in interesting circumstances at Lord's 1986.

Add : Archie - can you reply to this anyway ?

You're right about tests but not ODIs, pasag

Was I on the right track ?

Edit : Having checked the profile of the player I was thinking about, I can answer that myself - NO !
