Clue - Think of a stand....

 

[The Sean]

So let's recap what we have so far...

An Australian top order batsman (implied opener) of the 19th century, who remains the only man in 130 years of test cricket to accomplish a particular batting feat, which he achieved in a single Test.

Is that a correct summary of where we are right now Jason?

Yes . And the Clue above - think of "A stand" -should pretty much give it away..

 

[JASON]

And he may have opened but that does not make him an opener...

 

[The Sean]

And he may have opened but that does not make him an opener...

I'm trying to think of stands named after 19th century Australians and all I can think of is the George Giffen stand, and I'm pretty sure you've already said no to that? Murdoch, McDonnel, Bannerman et al are all stand-less to my knowledge!

Though I have no doubt whatsoever I'm missing someone very obvious...
