That is him mate, he bet a fellow passenger 100 pounds, some nice spending moneySounds like the sort of thing Big George Bonnor might have done.
Well I skipped out on asking my question for the other trivia thread, I suppose I should ask one here...That is him mate, he bet a fellow passenger 100 pounds, some nice spending money
Your turn mate
Gooch got 210 when he was 40?Well I skipped out on asking my question for the other trivia thread, I suppose I should ask one here...
Who holds the record for the highest Test score made after the age of 40?
No mate, good guess though - but two men have made higher scores after the age of 40.Gooch got 210 when he was 40?

No, I don't have the scorecards in front of me but I'm pretty sure Cowdrey didn't make a ton that series. Batted with extreme courage against Lillee and Thommo at their fastest though.Colin Cowdrey in Perth when he was called out as a replacement???
Gordon Greenwich's 226 against Aus in 1991 at 40?No mate, good guess though - but two men have made higher scores after the age of 40.
Here's a hint though - even if he'd been 40, that 226 would still only be in second place...Gordon Greenwich's 226 against Aus in 1991 at 40?
Edit: Damn, he was 39, and would have been 40 in 1 week
Well I am unsure if it was a Test or a Gentlemen vs Players game now..the old memory is dimming with ageNo mate.
Did really make that score aged 49? I always thought Hobbs at 46 was the oldest Test centurion?
Nope, that's second! You're getting there...Sir Jack Hobb's 211 v SA in 1924 at age 41?
Dudley scored 211 - but I think you're quoting his father Dave's birthdate!Nourse scored 211 for SA against the aussies aged 55(B 1879) this occurred in the 1935/36 series???
