@ataraxia

That's C K Nayudu.

Was quoting from:

"Lala Amarnath Bhardwaj (11 September 1911 – 5 August 2000) was an Indian cricketer. He is considered to be the father figure of Indian cricket. He scored the first ever century for India in Test Cricket in 1933. He was independent India's first cricket captain and captained India in their first Test series win against Pakistan in 1952."

Though I can't argue with Nayudu.

That's fair. Just stated that normally Nayudu is considered a father figure of Indian cricket here.

And there's the cliff.

Though it's possibly unfair on the antediluvian version of Peter Siddle, Tim Wall, that he was left so long.

Apologies.

Charlie Barnett

No need for apologies.
It was either Barnett or Armanath for me.

 

[Pothas]

No need for apologies.
It was either Barnett or Armanath for me.

I very almost went for Barnett

Jack Badcock

One of the leading Australian batsmen during the inter War period averaging 51 in FC. One of the only 3 batsmen said to consistently get the better of Tiger O'Reilly.

@Teuton

Sandy Bell
@Bitmap

I really miscalculated on this one. Was contemplating between Bell and Francis in the previous round because thought they won't last much long..... Now it looks I would had been better taking Kippax or Kelleway.
