I know the three - even if I don't know the common things - Ranji(KS Ranjithsinghi), Nawab of Pataudi senior and Duleep (KS Duleepsinghi).
The Common things at a guess - Century on Debut against Australia, Royalty , Playing for England although from India ... unsure about the others.

Thank you, I think the big give away for me was when you said that Century on Debut was actually a mistake and the Century on debut was only against Australia. So a quick flick thru' Duleep's record confirmed his score of 173 against Australia on Test Debut !!SJS said:CORRECT : Take a bow Guru Jason
The four things are already stated.
1. They are all Indians
2. They all made their debut for another country, namely England
3. They all scored hundreds in their first Ashes test
4. They were all princes.
So you were right misleading us by saying they did make a Century on Debut was the biggest thing that lead us closer to the answer !!
Marc's help is appreciated too!! The hint about Royalty !!

There is a genuine effort to try and get to the answer by people on their own rather than use search engines mainly,
Dont you think?
Definitely more pleasureable !! I quite enjoyed it although when you said 4 qestions left I did wonder if I was going to run out of qestions and not get the answer !!SJS said:
I am only disappointed that there weren't many others on line apart from Bryce !!
Because I can see it will become more enjoyable when more people participate at the same time !!
Question for this thread (Back to old format)
Question.
In the only instance kown where an umpire changed a decision from giving a batsman out to not out in a Test Match, the last ball of the second day's play was played down the pitch.The non-striker was (possibly thinking the play had ended and was) standing out-of his ground when a fielder threw down the non-striker's wicket and appealed and the batsman was given out.
However that evening following considerable discussions and meetings between the umpires, captains and officials the Appeal was withdrawn in the interests of cricket, and the decision reversed !!
Which Test , who are the individuals concerned !!
(Clue - the fielder is Channel 9 commentator, who captained his adopted country prior to moving down under and then being the organiser of another controversial cricket carnival)

Tony Greig. England in West Indies 1973-74
His first contribution to the series, however, was to spark a controversy that set the tone for this volatile all-rounder. Greig bowled the last ball of the day to Julien who played it back down the pitch. Alvin Kallicharan, the non-striker saw Greig field the ball and walked off towards the dressing room. Impetuously Greig threw the ball at the stumps and appealed for a run out. The appeal was upheld and the uproar started. After many hurried conversations England withdrew the appeal, much to Greig's annoyance. It wasn't the last run-in he had with the West Indies!
