[Deja moo]

no, nothing to do with the opposition.

 

[shankar]

no, nothing to do with the opposition.

It's a popular misconception that he was getting married that day. What actually happened was that out of deference to Bradman the players of the Kathiawar team refused to play and left home. This was inspite of Bradman sending a message asking the players to take the field and allow him to have a go at the record.

Really?

I thought he was getting married.

Your explanation seems more reasonable anyway.

Mate, I knew it was the Signal twins of NZ, just not when and against who, so partly out of interest I 'googled' for it. Disregard my answer if you wish

Wait for Orangepitches conformation, but seeing as you are pretty sure of the answers (and many other people have given correct answers) I don't see why not.

Well. I think the answer to (3) is wrong. Nimbalkar couldnt complete the record because the opponents, not wanting to be known as the side against whom the world record was made decided to conced the match !!

 

[SJS]

As far as 1B) is concerned

I Think, Worrell, Walcott and Tillaketatne have all played for their test sides as pure batsmen PLU have kept wickets in test matches.
