No worries Tapi, you had me confused, but thats not that hard!

 

[JASON]

Australian Players to score 300 or more in State Cricket?Missing are:C.W Gregory, Hendry, Murdoch, Kippax, Love
I hope its not all 1st class Cricket

I hope it is right I have a real thinker for you (and everyone else)

I had "cricketers to score 300+ in Sheffield shield/Pura Cup" in mind,which would include one player you have not mentioned .

Still one person in that list does not belong there - even if it were only Australian cricketers to score 300+ in Sheffield shield/Pura Cup.

The great Barry Richards?

Now the player who should not be their
Gregory because QLD were not in the Shield at the time he scored his ton.
I suppose technically Murdoch would miss out since Lord Sheffield had not come good with the money yet

No not Gregory. May be Gregory as well. But there's another player you have put in by mistake !!

 

[archie mac]

Stork Hendry, silly me

 

[JASON]

Stork Hendry, silly me

Your turn !!

 

[JASON]

Now you can see why Tapioca thought there were only 2 others.
He would not have had Gregory or Hendry and Love may have not been in because it was Pura Cup , and he may have looked at Sheffield shield records !!

Woolley ??

 

[archie mac]

Woolley ??

How the hell did you work that out?

I am impressed

Your turn SJS

I first decided it was an englishman. Thats pretty obvious from the team selected and the feeling that Bradman was not good enough on stickies !

Then it had to be someone of stature, plus someone who had a long career span to have seen(preferably played with) Trumper as well as Bradman.

That gave the choice of Hobbs, Rhodes and Woolley. I ruled out Hobbs because he was too much of a gentleman to say such a thing of Bradman.

I ruled out Rhodes because he, if he didnt include himself, would have surely included his "twin" Hirst !!

So I decided there was a good chance it was Woolley. It was still a guess

 

[SJS]

I am not ready with a regular question so i am asking a pictorial one, I hope its okay ??

Name these four Indian greats !

 

[Pratters]

I just know 2 of them for sure

 

[Tapioca]

Easy enough for an Indian - Vinoo Mankad, Mushtaq Ali, CK Nayudu and DB Deodhar

He would not have had Gregory or Hendry and Love may have not been in because it was Pura Cup , and he may have looked at Sheffield shield records !!

Oh, no. I wish I had some cricket books as I am thousands of miles away from mine. I used only the list of 300 scorers from CA.

Do you want someone else to ask in your place ?

 

[Tapioca]

No, just give me a little time.

 

[JASON]

No, just give me a little time.

We are still waiting !!

 

[Tapioca]

Sorry. Forgot about it.

What is common between the hundreds made by Neil Harvey against India in 1947/8 and Sanjay Manjrekar's 218 v Pakistan in 1989/90 (maybe not unique, but extremely rare) ?
