Can you beat for the cricket guru title?

[Pratters]

I think this is not going to come from guessing. So I will give a hint. Though I dont know if this wil result in an answer.
It was a house a bit further up on the same road where WG's family's home Downend House was !

How much will it cost to go from Calcutta to go near Downend and find out?

Even then it may not be possible.

 

[SJS]

I think this may not get answered.

Actually for a very long time there was a misconception that WG was born at Downend House where his family had moved before he was born. However more than half a century later it was discovered that he was born at Clematis House , the curates house a little way up the road. It is thought that his mother may have been looked after by the curate's wife while in confinement. though why the village doctor's wife should have been away from her home, a few doors away, is a bit of a mystery

Anyone may take the next question please.

 

[Pratters]

Ah you must have given us some more time to find out.

My surname is a country yet I was born in another. I played First Class Cricket last year in a country; Only 1 of those countries play ODI's. Who Am I?

 

[James90]

The guy French from Hong Kong? Wait French isn't a country but HK did play 2 ODI's.

 

[Jamee999]

Nope.

That's exactly what I said!! Brunei is part of Malaysia !!

That's nit picking IMO, if this turns out to be the reason why Jamee said my answer was incorrect !!

Brunei isnt a part of Malaysia. It is a separate country.

 

[membersstand]

Brunei is not part of Malaysia..

 

[membersstand]

Having said that Jason, if you'd like to ask the next question I'm sure we can arrange for you to take the credit

 

[JASON]

Brunei isnt a part of Malaysia. It is a separate country.

Oh well its a principality surrounded by Malaysia . Anyway this guy is listed as being born in Malaysia in some places and being born in Brunei in other places.
But the name and county are correct !!

So what's the big problem with the answer !!

 

[membersstand]

Come on Jason, it's like saying a Canberrian was born in NSW. (my next question offer still stands)

 

[SJS]

Having said that Jason, if you'd like to ask the next question I'm sure we can arrange for you to take the credit

Yes of course.

Go ahead jason.

Mate we cannot ask another question until Jamee999 comes back and confirms indeed the answer is correct. Because otherwise you will end up with a scenario where 2 or 3 people will be asking questions at the same time , when one question has not been properly finished and completely answered. (As you might have encountered in the New cricket Trivia thread recently)

 

[membersstand]

So before I came along was it just you two in the trivia threads ?
