No

Did you play for an English county whose name starts with a letter in the first half of the alphabet?

Yes

 

[fredfertang]

Well George Beldam satisfies the hint and most of the other clues if you take London County as a county rather than Middlesex so thats the best I can offer

 

[zaremba]

M is in the first half of the alphabet, Fertang.

 

[fredfertang]

M is in the first half of the alphabet, Fertang.

No its not because I dont recognise the validity of the letter X

 

[Lillian Thomson]

I don't think he fits with the clue of his batting average being 0.11 lower than WG.

 

[fredfertang]

No he doesn't and I am far from convinced about some of the others - I am clutching at straws a bit but there is some controversy (well debate) about the status of some of London County's matches so I am relying on that

 

[SJS]

I don't think he fits with the clue of his batting average being 0.11 lower than WG.

George Beldam is correct.

Here is how.

For five consecutive first class seasons (1903 to 1907)
- I scored more runs than WG - 1058 against 465, 1082 against 445, 599 against 349, 580 against 241 and 402 against 19
- at a better average than WG - 30.25 against 23.2
- scored many more hundreds - 6 against 2
- had more fifty plus scores - 20 against 9
- got many more wickets than him - 103 against 51
- at a much lower average - someone please check

In fact even if you take my entire career, my batting average is lower than WG's by just 0.11 !! - For the same period Grace averages 30.13 and my average is 30.02.

I don't think he fits with the clue of his batting average being 0.11 lower than WG.

I meant his average over his career as compared to WG's for the same period. Sorry for the slight confusion caused by that which was intentional.

 

[SJS]

I have an interesting one, so I hope you guys dont mind my going ahead with another.

I stumped two Australian batsmen in two consecutive overs, the last time I kept wickets in a first class game. I have every reason to believe that I might be the only one to have ever done that.

There's not much point apologizing if it was intentional.
