Is it to do with a title?

 

[Somerset]

Q2. By title you're referring to their names? Yes.

 

[bagapath]

are you fred trueman and are you talking about andrew flintoff coz both of you go by the nickname "freddie"?

 

[Goughy]

My question is:
A great cricketer of my time, I might well be confused for someone else today. Who am I and why might there be this ambiguity?

Hmm, I assumed you meant confused for another cricketer but on 2nd reading you didnt say that. Is the person you may be confused for another cricketer?

[Somerset]

Is there a Lancashire connection?

Q8. Indeed there is.

[fredfertang]

What cricket related event occurred 12 million times in 1968?

 

[Goughy]

What cricket related event occurred 12 million times in 1968?

With the way it is worded, my immediate thought was the D'Olivera petition but the numbers dont work. That was only 12000
