So it's a sick Australian batsman of limited ability pre-1970's and an English fast bowler who's career spanned WW2?

I'll go for Keith Stackpole and Bill Voce who both have an aunty curiously named Cyril.

:laugh: No

The Aussie could bat but not in the Jackson class and he got sick on tour and had to come home, I am pretty sure he never played Test cricket again:)

No, pretty sure the Aussie is still alive tbh

Here is a clue: The Englishman when he started was conned by the veteran Patsy Hendren into bowling bouncers at him, which he smashed to the fence:)

Now where the hell did I read that. In the bowlers biography for sure. It was in some minor cricket - Lancashie league or something. :@

Given the above quote and the possible playing after WW2 Id plump for the great coach and former quick Alf Gover?

If it is Gover, could it be to do with either coaching or being born on 29th Feb in a leap year?

Dont know about the Aussie though

I think S-H played for Worster circa before the great war?

Somthing to do with where the ball struck the batsman? Maybe in the head as he ducked?

haha, too easy. Not ducking though. A high lob that hit him on the head that was adjudged to be coming down on the wicket and was given LBW

Engle

State Vice-Captain

Who is the only cricketer to lead the batting and bowling aggregates in a 5 Test series for both teams ?
