Is 3 Gambhir?

EDIT: I'm suspecting Sachin for 4 or 5

 

[Howe_zat]

Yep.

Edit: and Sachin is #5.

 

[wpdavid]

Was 1 Gavaskar?

EDIT
Nope. But I just googled it, so I'll leave it there.
Suffice to say that I'm appalled that I couldn't work out the 1976/77 one.

Steve Smith is 7?

OS to comment

2 might be Botham, judging by wpdavid's hint?

No, neither of these. FTR when I say 'fifty' I mean a 50+ score, which really should be the way of doing things

 

[fredfertang]

King Viv?

 

[vcs]

Is 7 Younis Khan?

 

[Howe_zat]

King Viv?

Yes

Is 7 Younis Khan?

No. No one will get #7.

 

[Bijed]

No. No one will get #7.

Mominul Haque?

 

[weeman27bob]

Feels like one of Michael Clarke or Ricky Ponting is probably on the list.

 

[Howe_zat]

Mominul Haque?

Yes, though I am certain you have cheated

 

[Bijed]

Yes, though I am certain you have cheated

How dare you!

Nah, when you said no-one will get it, my immediate reaction was because it'd be someone from an unlikely team such as Bangladesh and I remembered that Mominul had a very good start to his career.

 

[Cabinet96]

When you saw the list on Sky so can't participate

 

[wpdavid]

Let's give this a bit of a nudge, if I may. For 1, he's the opening partner of the guy that English cricket supporters would have expected to be in the list at that time

 

[AndrewB]

John Edrich, then.

 

[wpdavid]

John Edrich, then.

Yup. I was expecting Boycs, but JE it was, being helped by barely playing in the 1970 ROW series. Still a fine batsman of course.

I'll shut up there before Howez tells me to leave his thread alone.

Cook is the 2nd away player to make a ton at the 5 major Australian grounds (Brisbane, Adelaide, Perth, Melbourne and Sydney)

Who is the first?
