Its to do with bowling
It is at first class level
Nothing to do with captaincy
A hint - others who share in the common thread are Jack Iverson, CB Fry and Ken Suttle

Yes
Not that it's a big clue but Arthur Carr, Reggie Spooner and PGH Fender as well
Let me know when you want the big clue!

Hmmm ... Blackham took two first-class wickets, and MacLaren one. I would say something like 'called for throwing' but I'd be very surprised, to say the least, if Verity ever was.
It can't be anything to do with a common opponent either, because Suttle's career began long after Blackham and MacLaren's had ended.
Before I search for the match in which MacLaren took his sole wicket, is it connected with the taking of a wicket in any way?

Would I be right in thinking that George Simpson-Hayward is also a member of this club?

Yes thats the link - there is a fascinating little book by Gerald Brodribb called The Lost Art which contains a list of all who have bowled lobs in a first class match - Verity is on the list but the bloody book has no index so i haven't got to the bit, if indeed it is there, where we learn when he did it.

No it is there - Surrey v Yorkshire at the Oval in 1933 - Surrey batted all day on day one and when they batted on after lunch on Day 2 Verity started bowling lobs as a protest - clearly an ill-tempered match because following on Yorkshire refused to score runs to deny Surrey a new ball (which I think came every 200 runs in those days)

I might jump in with an easy one
Who am I?
I share a nickname with an Aussie great, although I was not happy with that!
I became a Test and FC umpire, and sometimes would walk around in circles at Square Leg and do "No.1s" or I would bring out a little bottle and do it on the field when no one else was watching
