New Cricket Trivia - 'SJS format'

[zaremba]

I can't believe that a self-employed man can afford to take three months paternity leave - either he has a very lucrative practice or Mrs Zaremba is well minted

In fact I am so shocked/jealous I am having trouble thinking of a question

Mrs Z is a barrister too, and was fed up with looking after the baby, and it was the 1st half of the cricket season, so all the planets seemed to line up really...

They all played 2nd XI cricket for Lancashire.

Not what I had in mind but on the right lines

You are a fortunate man indeed

 

[wisden18]

They all captained Lancashire 2nd XI?

 

[fredfertang]

They all captained Lancashire 2nd XI?

I think only Sleep did that but your not far away

 

[wisden18]

Well a bit tenuous, but they all played for a Lancashire team, and subsequently went into coaching (?)!

 

[fredfertang]

No Mr Coddington and I know that you know the answer!!!

 

[zaremba]

They all coached the Wet Boys' 2nd XI?

 

[fredfertang]

Very possibly but not what I had in mind

 

[wisden18]

So we've had "all played for Lancashire", "all captained" and now "all coached" all of which aren't the answer. Clearly something to do with Lancashire, have they all played in a match for a side that has gone on to win the County Championship (either 1XI or 2XI)?

 

[fredfertang]

For a Rosenwater enthusiast you are rather missing the obvious

 

[wisden18]

Of course (!), they all scored centuries for Lancashire.

 

[fredfertang]

Yes - Wasim for the first Sleep for the seconds and Woolley in a charity Roses Match in 1916

Your go Ollie

 

[wisden18]

Sorry about the delay in getting a question up guys, was out umpiring yesterday.

Who was the first woman to get a cricket Blue from both Oxford and Cambridge?

 

[fredfertang]

Nancy Joy?

 

[wisden18]

No.

 

[zaremba]

Double-barrelled surname?

 

[wisden18]

No.

 

[fredfertang]

It's not that I doubt your integrity Ollie but can I just check we are dealing with a 24 carat lady cricketer here and not some play on words or a bloke called Mary or such like?

 

[wisden18]

I like your thinking, but alas, nothing as exotic or interesting as that!

 

[zaremba]

Did she play for England?
