In the 1980s, who scored a Test double hundred, and was dropped from the side forever one test later ?

Question -

Father Played in one World Cup, Son played in two.

Father played one World Cup (and one game only), Son played in none (but Tests).

Father played none (world cups) (but plenty of Tests), Son played in one World Cup.(solitary game)




Name the Father and son combinations.
(before biased_Indian jumps on me for asking too many questions) Only the answer to first combination in bold is accepted as the winner.
Others are bonus questions for fun.

Marc which question did you say your answer was to ?

 

[marc71178]

The middle one (Father played, son didn't)

 

[JASON]

The middle one (Father played, son didn't)

It certainly is the answer to one of those questions, but not the middle one.

 

[marc71178]

Must be bold one then as his dad never played tests!

 

[JASON]

Correct - Don Pringle played 2 ODI s for East Africa in the World Cup of 1975. Derek played in 2 world Cups 87 and 91/2.

Alan Butcher (Father) played 1 World Cup ODI game (probably in 83), while Mark played none.

Hanif Mohamed played No world Cups but several Tests, his son Shoaib played a solitary World Cup game .
