    "Born before Tests" draft

    I think Hove was a fairly flat pitch in this era? From 1900-1909, looking at some of the more successful counties, Yorkshire, Lancashire and Surrey drew about 37% of their championship games; Sussex drew more than half of theirs.

    Final (pretty big) hint for the third answer: The test that X and Y both played in, the death of X and the birth of Z all happened in 1959.

    One Test Blunders

    You can lose the "allegedly" there (and the "England"). Bit harsh to dismiss his prospects at the time so quickly - he was England's leading scorer in the ODI series that summer (OK, 101 runs in 3 matches isn't a huge amount, but this was a debutant playing against an attack including Marshall...

    Best English bowling attack

    They all played in 4 matches, curiously, all of them were drawn (in 4 different series in which England drew a total of 5 matches). 1953-4: 4th Test v WI at Port-of-Spain (WI 681-8d and 212-4d, E 537 and 98-3) 1957: 1st Test v WI at Birmingham (E 186 and 583-4d, WI 474 and 72-7) 1958: 5th Test v...

    Best English bowling attack

    Based on rankings the England attack was at its strongest in August 1958: 1: Tony Lock 912 2: Jim Laker 881 9: Fred Trueman 730 10: Trevor Bailey 722 11: Brian Statham 699 with Tyson (12th, 692) and Loader (21st, 461) in reserve. This is, I think, the highest-rated 5-man attack in Test history...
