Is it to do with stumpings?

 

[SJS]

Is it an achievement outside the cricket field ?

 

[Tapioca]

Jamee : yes

SJS : it has to do with something that happened on the middle of the cricket field.

Hint 2 - The Indian is P Sen

[Tapioca]

No, jlo & archie.

All these players played sometime between 1920 and 1950. Does that ring any bells ?

PS : ... but nothing to do with the wars or something that they did 'between the wars'

 

[archie mac]

Stumped Bradman the most?

 

[Tapioca]

Yessir. They are the wicketkeepers who have stumped Bradman. Baker being unique in that he stumped DGB in both innings of a match.

Stumping the way I hate to be dismissed.

A nice easy one!

Whom would be famously asking this question, and who would answer?

"What do you think Arthur?"

 

[cricketboy29]

if this is easy, id hate to see hard :grumble

 

[Tapioca]

Pelham Warner to WG Grace (nah, it is not that one, I know ....)

 

[SJS]

Q1. Would the Arthur in question be an umpire ?

Q2. If yes, would it be Arthur Jepson (the Nottingham fast bowler between the wars)?

Although the incident I have in mind went like this.

In the Gillette cup final in 1971 (famously known as the 'lamplight match", Jepson was the umpire and with the clock approachin 9 PM !!! Jack Bond the fielding captain asked Arthur what he thought of the light. Jepson looked skywards and asked Bond what he saw up there. Bond replied "The moon"

`Well how far do you want to see?' replied Jepson coolly !!

I liked that story

When I said easy, I was being facetious

But here is a clue: think radio broadcasting (early)

 

[Tapioca]

Was the Arthur - Gilligan ?

 

[archie mac]

Was the Arthur - Gilligan ?

Yes, well done Tapi, can you tell me who he was talking to?

 

[Tapioca]

I have no idea ! Gilligan is the only cricketing Arthur that I know from the time.

 

[archie mac]

I have no idea ! Gilligan is the only cricketing Arthur that I know from the time.

Aruthur Gilligan, Alan McGilvray and another person were the three main radio commentators on Australian radio.

The third person and the answer to the Q is the most famous grandfather in Australian cricket

 

[jlo33692]

Would it be Victor Richardson to Authur Gilligan on radio bbc 3 london cricket commentary?
