Wow Good Question Cevno, and good deduction Fredfertang. Was burning Cricinfo on this and I couldnt think of this!

 

[fredfertang]

Yes it was an excellent question - the sort of question of which I suspect SJS would have been proud (which is no doubt why he sat back and watched our discomfort!)

As you will see from the time of my post I was so tormented by the bloody thing I woke in the middle of the night fretting about it!

So my turn

Aside from captaining England what do Douglas Jardine, Mike Brearley and George Mann have in common?

Does it have to do with Cambridge?

 

[fredfertang]

Nothing to do with Cambridge (DRJ was Oxford wasn't he?)

 

[zaremba]

DRJ was Oxford wasn't he?

Well spotted. I was, as I'm sure you're aware, thinking of his childhood holiday spent with his uncle Bernard in Grantchester in 1912.

 

[fredfertang]

You've caught me out there Mr Z - what was Uncle Bernard's surname? Was he a first class cricketer too?

Does it have anything to do with the fact that their father's were first class cricketers?

[Cevno]

It is his stamina and loyalty that single out him, and examples abound of both qualities. In Perth, he tore a hamstring. "The doctor said he was finished," remembers the Physio. "I iced him down all night and we did some static stretching the following morning. He took the field to give it a try and hobbled in off a short run. I thought he might last four or five overs; in the end he bowled 20 in a row and only stopped when the match was won. He didn't walk properly for another two weeks after that, but for him the pain had all been worthwhile. That's special."

Who's he?
A easy one this.
