He was only 19 in 1914, the last year before the war and scored almost 1000 runs for the season inluding 178 not out. Was also a fine left arm spinner.

Lost his right arm in the war.

According to Jack Hobbs, who had played against him before the WWI, he would have made a fine all rounder for England.

Some more intersting trivia about Frank Chester.

He was the one who started the now common practice of umpires bending low over the stumps to get the best view.

Also he gave Doug Insole out LBW when Doug was bowled off his pads by Ramadhin. Chester insisted that he had declared Insole LBW before the ball hit the stumps so Insole WAS recorded as LBW. Then MCC made an amendment to the rules stating that even if LBW, a batsman will be ruled bowled if the ball goes and hits the stumps !!

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 !!

My answers off CricInfo Jason.
Brunei, France and ENGLAND(The ODI Team) were the answers I was looking for.

OK . Fair enough.

But Generally Mate I am generous in giving people credit when I know they have got the answer !!

But I guess that's the way I choose to play this trivia , and you are entitled to play it whichever way you want!

And you are certainly not alone (among others on this thread) in being picky on getting the answer to the exact detail !!

I play this trivia for fun and to make others derive fun too !!

Isn't it SJS's turn to post next question ?

 

[JASON]

Thanks mate :thumsup:

Those sentiments are genuine , Mate. Keep it up .

 

[JASON]

In nearly 45 minutes it would be 24 hours since Ferd acknowledged SJS's correct answer !

Then it becomes open for anyone to post the next question ! (as SJS would then be deemed to have foregone his turn to ask next question !)
