Bit strange to see someone perform something on debut that doesn't actually relate to their performance on-field...

Debut at their home ground?
Debut with 2/3 innings declared in the match?

I have no idea TBH....

But not related to the on-field performance? Now I am confused.

When you say extra special are you talking about a cricketing aspect?

Did they make their Test debut before their FC debut?

Yes. Their Test Debut was also their FC debut.

For Australia John Hodges and Thomas Kendall in the very first Test in 1876/7 were the only FC debutants in Tests. For England - CJ Coventry, BAF Grieve, the famous Joseph Mcmaster , AM Miller and AG Archer , For NZ - George Vivian , but 21 South Africans, 1 pakistani and 1 zimbabwean and 2 Bangladeshis also make this group.

Your turn !! Lets see a very very very vague Cryptic one then !! :laugh: :laugh:

A nice easy one, but NO surfing the net for answers :@

Fill in the blanks

1 Blank pounding down like a machine
2 Blank making divots in the green
3 Blank is taking wickets
4 Blank is clearing pickets
5& 6 and the Blanks eyes have got that killer gleam
7 Blank playing havoc with the bats
8 Blank it's good to see you back
9 Blank is making runs
10 Blank is chewing gum
11 and Blank is wielding the willow like an axe

You've been training all the winter
And there's not a team that's fitter
And that's the way it got to be
'Cause you're up against the best you know
This is Supertest you know
And you've go to beat the best the world has seen

Lillee'spounding down like a machine
Pascoe's making divots in the green
Marshy's taking wickets
Hooksey's clearing pickets
And the Chappells' eyes have got that killer gleam
Mr Walker's playing havoc with the bats
Redpath it's good to see you back
Lairdie's making runs
Dougie's chewing gum
and Gilmour's wielding willow like an axe

C'mon Aussie c'mon c'mon
C'mon Aussie c'mon c'mon
C'mon Aussie c'mon c'mon
C'mon Aussie c'mon

The new version has to be the most annoying song around, especially when it's played at the end of every session when Australia play! (at least that happened in the New Zealand test series)

Quote - " Hell,Gatt move out of the way, I can't see the stumps ." :D
