JASON said:OK I think I will simplify it , how many FC games did he play before Test debut ?
Yes I worked that out, but I have not been able to find the No.
Astill played 424 First Class Matches before his Test debut - This is the most FC matches played by any player before making Test debut . Ewart Astill also has to his credit a rare FC record - He played FC cricket in 4 decades !!archie mac said:Yes I worked that out, but I have not been able to find the No.

Archie had already given an answer that was close enough, and since no one made an attempt I thought it was fair to give Archie the credit instead of letting the thread stagnate !
Apologise if I had upset you two by doing so.

One was more efficient, but which one would you rather watch.

Your questions are becoming more and more cryptic JasonJASON said:Question
Only 2 Australians have done it !! But 5 Englishmen, 21 South Africans, 1 New Zealander , 1 Pakistani , 1 Zimbabwean and 2 Bangladeshis have done it !
Not a single Indian, West Indian or Sri Lankan have done it !!
What have they done ?

Wonder why ?archie mac said:Your questions are becoming more and more cryptic Jason
Once you make it cryptic and very vague
it really becomes a stab in the dark and loses interest of those attempting. (as can be seen)The interest in Trivia thread is in making those interested get the answer and thus derive pleasure in answering and not for the questioner to feel this exclusively, IMO.
