    In the late '90s/early 00s could Australia put out the best 2 XI's in world cricket?

    England could have put out two pretty strong bowling attacks in 1954-5: Statham/Tyson/Bailey/Wardle/Appleyard was good enough to win the Ashes, and Trueman/Bedser/Laker/Lock weren't needed. The 2nd XI batting wouldn't have been very good, though.

    Richie Richardson played 74 of his 224 ODIs in Australia (only 48 in the West Indies)

    The most is 15 by Billy Bates (all in Australia), followed by Jaspit Bumrah (currently) and Frederick Fane on 14. Mansell is the only other to play more than 10 Tests away without any at home. (This is of course excluding various Pakistan players who've only played "home" Tests in UAE - Sarfraz...

    Viv Richards Voted as County Cricket's Greatest Overseas Player.

    Wisden: "Richards produced a masterpiece of aggression and timing to steer Glamorgan to a second successive Championship victory, successful negotiations between the captains having overcome the weather's earlier interference. Hampshire's first innings had been dominated by a magnificent 153...

    Viv Richards Voted as County Cricket's Greatest Overseas Player.

    Not sure why Viv should be ahead on popularity; Clive was hugely popular at Lancashire and was there for nearly 20 years. And you only have to be 40-odd to remember Lloyd (and you have to be 30-odd to remember Richards, it's not like there's decades between them). Also Clive probably edges it...

    Not a very long career, but back in the 1880s Billy Bates played all his 15 Tests in Australia.

    Viv Richards Voted as County Cricket's Greatest Overseas Player.

    Ted McDonald won 4 county championships with Lancashire, which I'm guessing is the most for an overseas player?

    "Born before Tests" draft

    And here's what "man who was annoying AA Milne at Lord's in 1912" had to say about CB Fry (from an article in Punch): "Some people call him a good bat, but I don't. Not what I call first-class. Good against bad bowling, but no good against the best."

    Mark Burgess's Low Career High First-Class Score

    1966 had some matches limited to 65 overs for the first innings; 1974-1980 had the 100 over limit (to be precise, 100 overs for the first innings, 200 overs in total for the first two innings so if you got the other side out quickly you could bat for longer). But as the list here shows, there...
