Brian "Johnners" Johnston?

 

[SJS]

Brian "Johnners" Johnston?

Yes indeed.


Johnners rather fancied himself as a keeper. David Frith (from whose book The Great Wicket-keepers the above incident was taken) mentions some interesting stuff about him and calls him ...Brian Johnston, perhaps the most enthusiastic wicket-keeper never to have played first class cricket.

Your turn.

Did he bowl a litte part time leg spin?

 

[BoyBrumby]

Q1. An England opener ?

Q1: Yes

Did he bowl a litte part time leg spin?

Q2: He didn't bowl at all in tests, but does have a few FC wickets & unfortunately his cricinfo profile doesn't give his style of bowling so can't say yes or no definitively.

Think I know who you meant tho.
