Debuts & Retirements draft

[watson]

Tiger Smith (1912-13)

It was said that he was the only wicket-keeper who could take the left-arm bowling of Foster, whose amazing swing and speed off the pitch rendered him as much a problem to his own wicket-keepers as to the opposing batsmen. And this was during a period when there were a number of county wicket-keepers of Test match calibre playing regularly. In addition to Smith, there was Strudwick of Surrey......

Coronis you there? You still have a pick up your sleeve bro.

 

[honestbharani]

Why am I always stuck in the middle of nowhere every round...

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

I have a cunning plan......I think.

Bring it on

 

[AndrewB]

Tich Freeman 1929-31

Tich Freeman was 1924-1929

 

[jimmy101]

Tich Freeman was 1924-1929

Good spot. This is true.

By the way morgieb has timed out.

 

[harsh.ag]

Dudley Nourse 1935-51

 

[morgieb]

Mick Commaille (1910 - 1928)

I have no idea who he is but at least he had a long career

 

[OverratedSanity]

Lindsay Hassett (1938-1953)

 

[jimmy101]

Sir Frank Mortimer Maglinne Worrell (1948 - 1963)

 

[Howe_zat]

What happens when we pick a player whose career was ended by the Second World War?

 

[mr_mister]

Choose someone who debuted in 1939 and played on

 

[jimmy101]

^ Exactly

For further clarification see the OP.

 

[The Battlers Prince]

Harold Larwood for me. 1926-1933 Obviously a great fast bowler, so I'm pretty stoked, and he can bowl to a plan

1. Arthur Shrewsbury (1882-1893)
2.
3. Lucky Denton (1905-1910)
4.
5. Stanley Jackson (1893-1905)
