OK here's an easy one in SJS's classic format :
I once scored 79% of my teams total - the next biggest contributor with a mere 5% was my brother - who am I?

I'm going to try the obvious before coming up with any questions, Steve Waugh?

No and it ain't WG either - nor any other member of his brotherhood or extended family

I assumed from a previous answer that they weren't English brothers so I'm now going to have to ask. Are they English?

Ah I hadn't thought of that - I'm never very sharp on a Sunday afternoon when there's no cricket on the telly
Apologies No they aren't English

Then there is the tripe century that Vijay Hazare scored in the Pentangular and had a massive partnership with his brother Vivek who scored very few.

Yes here it is.
Hazare scored 309 out of 387 for rest of India in the Pentangular finals. For the sixth wicket, he had younger brother Vivek put on exactly 300 runs. Vivek scored 21.

Okay we will go back to what I had posted earlier and withdrew.

Who said/wrote this - where and when ?
A question which can not fail to present itself to the minds of all cricketers..... is whether the bowling of today is as good as it used to be. This particular question - so often put, and answered so differently - seems to me to be one which it is impossible to decide, as the whole nature of the game has altered in the last few years......
Nowadays a bowler is nothing unless he has command over the ball and can practice variety; batting is so good and grounds are so level that the merely accurate bowler may keep down the runs but he can not get wickets... and our best bowlers - seem to aim not so much at getting rid of the batsman as at keeping down the runs ... and trusting to chance or the impatience of the batsman for his dismissal.
