Spot on Jason, your turnJASON said:I think Archie Mac's question relates to the fact that Clem Hill, Monty Noble and Syd Gregory were all part of a hat trick by JT Hearne. Considered the most illustrious 3 players to be dismissed in a hat trick.
And therefore the answer to the question - "Has there been any greater ?" has to be NO.
Surely Harry Flashman's haul of Felix, Pilch and Mynn in succesive balls at Lord's in 1842 is greater? As the great poltroon himself had it - "I'd got Felix by skill, Pilch by luck, and Mynn by knavery..."JASON said:I think Archie Mac's question relates to the fact that Clem Hill, Monty Noble and Syd Gregory were all part of a hat trick by JT Hearne.

SJS said:Pedro,
I am really very impressed. There are not many here who would have heard of Felix, Pilch and Mynn.
And I had never heard of Harry Flashman. One learns something every day.
Where did you get this bit ? In a book. If so could you please give details.
A bit of fun to be honest SJS. Flashman is a fictional character from Tom Brown's School Days. A novelist called George McDonald Fraser took him form there and wrote The Flashman Papers . Genius stuff, and no mean history lesson either.
You had me that time.Pedro Delgado said:
I'd recommed them highly. Fraser has him in India quite often, this from Flashman in the The Great Game - "This time Flashy rogers and runs his way through the greatest of all imperial wars, the Indian Mutiny. Delhi, Cawnpore, Lucknow, are all here as are Nana Sahib, Lawrence, Campbell and the delectable Rani of Jhansi."SJS said:You had me that time.
But thanks for the info. Would like to read the stuff.
I would think the other was either Sth Africa or WI?JASON said:Question
Name the 2 Brother-in laws who Captained their respective countries (2 different countries) in Test Cricket !!
OK looks like we need clues to set this Question rolling.
Clue - One was English !!
Welcome back Tapi, do you know the answer?Tapioca said:
Is it any of these four?JASON said:Tapi as usual knows all the answers !
That makes it easier now !!
*considering the few captains NZ have had as opposed the large number that have captained England!! *
But knows no questions
A quick stab, Sobers and Smith car accident?Tapioca said:But knows no questions
Tom Lowry married a sister of Percy Chapman.
In the hope that Jason won't mind, I am going ahead with a question -
Which unfortunate incident featured three people, all Test cricketers, the lesser involved of whom was the West Indian fastbowler Tom Dewdney ?
Which fast bowler, had an action similar to 'The Notts Express' ended up running a flower shop?Tapioca said:Yes
Sobers was the driver, Dewdney was in the front and Smith sleeping in the backseat. When the car hit a tree, Smith was thrown forward and killed.
