Test and FC cricketers who are related

[Fuller Pilch]

Heaps of Kiwis - Hadlees, Crowes, McCullums, Bracewells, Howarths, Rutherfords, Lathams, Kuggelijns, Marshalls

 

[Gnske]

To note an obvious one, Vic Richardson was a grandfather of the Chappells. There have been a few D'Olivieiras. Ben and Adam Hollioake were brothers as well.

EDIT: There have been at least two related Butchers I know of (Mark and Roland).

It's actually amazing how much Chappelli looks like Vic but with a fat head. But Instead Greg got Vic's head but not the face.

Any cricket couples besides Starc and Healy?

Then you've got Healy's uncle playing for Australia too and her dad playing a bit of Shield cricket for Queensland.

Starc's brother is also a champion pole vaulter.

Their kids are gonna have some great genes.

 

[stephen]

The Queensland women's team has a something of a 90s feel to it, Jemma Barsby and Georgia Prestwidge in the team.

Yeah and it could have had Healy in it if she hadn't become a blue.

 

[Tom Flint]

Literally had never realised Phil and lendll were related. What is the relation there?
Another obvious one is the bravo's

 

[the big bambino]

Plum Warner and Gubby Allen

 

[Dendarii]

Some more South Africans:

Dave and Dudley Nourse

Peter and Gary Kirsten - their father Noel and brothers Andy and Paul also played first-class cricket.

Albie and Morne Morkel - while not ever playing first-class cricket, their father Albert has one List A match to his credit, and their brother Malan played for SA Under-19.

Chris Morris's father Willie had a lengthy first-class career.

Makhaya Ntini's son Thando played for SA Under-19 earlier this year.

Ali and Adam Bacher (uncle and nephew), and they have some other relatives who also played first-class cricket - Aaron Nickel (Ali's uncle), William Kirsh (Ali's nephew), Michael Bacher (Adam's brother).

Justin Kemp and Dave Callaghan are cousins, and Kemp's grandfather and father also played first-class cricket, although only one and three matches respectively.

Tertius Bosch's sons Corbin and Eathen both made their first-class debuts last year, and have also both played for South Africa Under-19.

Craig Matthews' brother Brett played first-class cricket, and I think he may have played in at least one of the rebel tours.

Yeah and it could have had Healy in it if she hadn't become a blue.

She moved to Sydney when she was really young, tbf. Actually caused a minore furor from ***ist neanderthals for cracking her school's first XI many years back.

Plum Warner and Gubby Allen

Apparently Warner was an 'admirer' of Allen's mother, whatever that euphemism may mean, but sadly he was in France at the time Gubby would have been conceived

Maybe he swam the channel.

When Shehzar Mohammad smashed 265 in a domestic game in Pakistan, he followed in the footsteps of his father, grandfather, uncle and two grand-uncles in scoring a first-class double-century.

 

[SeamUp]

Maybe he swam the channel.

When you up for it, you're up for it.

 

[fredfertang]

Maybe he swam the channel.

Sydney is a bloody long way to swim, just for a shag

 

[the big bambino]

Oh that’s right he was born in Sydney. Was the lady in question in England some months earlier?

 

[Dendarii]

Sorry Dendarii. Just seen your list. Excuse the one's you have already.

No problem. You came up with quite a few more that I didn't.

There's also Kepler and Riki Wessels.

And the Wikipedia link given earlier in the thread has a couple more sets of brothers:

Bernard, Louis, and Vincent all played tests. None of them ever played in the same match, but both of Bernard's tests featured their cousin Fred Smith.
George "Dusty" Tapscott and Lionel "Doodles" Tapscott also both played tests, but again never together. There was a third Tapscott brother, Norman who played first-class cricket but not tests (I don't know if the lack of a nickname had anything to do with it, although his middle name of van Lilienstein does make up for that )

 

[Tom Flint]

Comptons is another obvious one

I wonder if the reason so many families play cricket at the top level is due to the coaching the kids receive. Genetics obviously plays a part but cricket is the most technical game in the world so being coached from a young age probably gives a massive boost to a kid's chances of going pro (and getting the opportunities to test themselves).

I was thinking about this the other day and comparing it to football. There really isn't that many related footballers. The main current one I thought of was kasper and Peter schemichael. And goalkeeping is something you can coach from a young age

In the last few years there have been lots of brothers in the All Blacks
