Cricketers who played against both father and son

[Migara]

Going through an old youtube clip of Pakistan playing Newzwaland in 1985, where Lance Cairns was floored by Wasim Akram, I realized he played both against father (Lance) and son (Chris).

By top of the head I could think that Javed Miandad, Arjuna Ranatunga and Aravinda de Silva should have done so, because they debuted at the fag end of Lances' career and actually outlasted Chris. Javed started in 75 and ended in 1996, so he must have played with both.

Any others?

A fair few West Indies FC cricketers can say they have played against father and son in the same game. Shivnarine and Tagenarine Chanderpaul played a fair few FC games together for Guyana

There'll be heaps, there's less than 5 years between Lance's final test and Chris' first one. Border, Boon and Lawson played in both.

So, what's the next closest gap between father and son?

I reckon Chanderpaul may have played test cricket against both Ken and Hamish Rutherford.

Yes. Ken played Shiv in 1994/95 and Hamish played him in 2 series in 13/14 and 2014.

Did Tendulkar ever play against Tom Latham?

Hadlee would have played Shoaib Mohammed in 88/89 tour of NZ and would have played plenty of his uncles, but not his father.

Nope

Hadlee would have played Shoaib Mohammed in 88/89 tour of NZ and would have played plenty of his uncles, bit not his father.

The lesser known destroyer of NZ named Shoaib

Did Tendulkar ever play against Tom Latham?

Doesn't look like it. Test debut was in 2014.

Started ODIs earlier in 2011 but didn't meet India until about 6 years in.

 

[ataraxia]

Dave and Dudley Nourse played together.

Wonder if anyone has played against both Chris and Stuart Broad. For sure at county level, but at international? 1989 to 2006 might be too big a gap.

Heath Streak and his dad played in a Zimbabwe FC final some time around 1995ish

 

[honestbharani]

Chanderpaul and his son played FC together, right?

Chanderpaul and his son played FC together, right?

Yep. At least one instance where they both scored 50s too.

 

[Senile Sentry]

I think Mark Butcher and his father Alan Butcher played against each other in English domestic cricket.

Did Tendulkar play against Geoff and Shaun Marsh?

 

[Immenso]

Tendulkar played test cricket against both Geoff and Sean Marsh.

V Geoff in 91/92 and v Sean in 2011/12.

Snap

Tendulkar and the Jarvis's of Zimbabwe woukd be worth checking.

Edit. Nope, Kyle never played Sachin.
