How many sons of famous cricketers have gone on to be stars?

[Daemon]

The Laughlins. Hardly famous or stars though.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Merv and Phil Hughes.

Pfft. As if Bill Lawry didn't sire young Phillip.

Dunno why you think he has a big nose. Normal size for mine.

Well, I really don't know how to respond to that.

Apologies for doubting you mate - she'll do - presumably you'll email me her phone number later?

I'll tweet it to you Tangy.

Don't forget the Pollocks.

Never mind the Pollocks. In other news I have just moved away from London to Burgess Hill. Famous as the deathplace of the legendary Fred Tate.

Good that you've been able to afford to reconnect to the interweb Mr Z - you've been missed

 

[Agent Nationaux]

Welcome back Mr Z.

A couple more

Victor Richardson was the Grandfather of Ian, Greg and Trevor Chappell

Peter Faulkner (was 12th man for Aus One day-sides a couple of times, Australian career ended by going on South African rebel tour) is the father of James. For those that are interested, Peter was a Right arm version of his son.

Shoaib Muhammad over Hardstaff jr imo. Also there's gotta be a bowler we can pick and drop Yuvraj. Cairns at 7.

Hardstaff averaged 46 with the bat must have been good ..I chose Yuvraj cause almost nobody who was a second gen bowled any spin .If we going all out pace then I'd drop Yuvraj Singh for Jack Gregory ..He averaged 36 with the bat and 31 with the ball as an allrounder

Shoaib played twice as long and averaged 44 as opener/#3 and did very well against Hadlee. Maybe drop Majid Khan for him. Yeah I noticed that there are no good spinners but Gregory is probably still a better choice. #BatDeep

 

[peterhrt]

Jack Gregory's father didn't play Test cricket. Two uncles did.

Another option for wicket-keeper is Denis Lindsay.

Spinner is tricky. Neil Smith? Didn't play Tests. Maurice Tate took 200+ first-class wickets with off-spin before switching to seam.

Raises the question of who was the better keeper: Bairstow or Stewart?

Having just read a book about Pakistani cricket I think you could probably have an "all in the family" match-up between Pakistan and RotW, and Pakistan would probably win.
