Q8 Is the similarity to do with something that happened during the century innings in question? It has nothing to do with similarity. More an unusual set of co-incidences and the link between the two individuals.

[SJS]

Were these centuries in test matches ?

If not, were they in university games ?

If yes, are these the Pataudis ?

 

[archie mac]

Were these centuries in test matches ?

If not, were they in university games ?

If yes, are these the Pataudis ?

Yes I was thinking the Pataudis

But will change to the Amarnath clan?

 

[SJS]

Yes I was thinking the Pataudis

But will change to the Amarnath clan?

The only father son duo who have both scored test centuries and have played for India are
Amarnaths, Pataudi's and the Manjrekars. So I suspect it may not be test centuries he is refering to. In which case we can add the
Mankads(Vinoo and Ashok),
Gaekwads (Dattajirao and Anshuman),
Roys (Pankaj and Pronob),
Singhs (Yograj and Yuvraj),
Kanitkars (Hemant and Hrishikesh)

Lala and Surinder Armanath were the first father/son combination to both score centuries on Test debut.

This could be it ...

I was thinking on same lines. SJS' post may have put me off track a bit.

I thought of that but a) its too easy and b) Jason talked of something that happened during the centuries.
