Ok, as promised earlier & in time-honoured tradition it's time for a recap & another clue. My original question was:
Two players jointly share this cricketing first, starting a tradition that continues to this day. Who are they & what was the first?
One of them also holds another first, extra bonus point if you can name this too.
Q1) Are both players from the same country? Strictly speaking, no. (Anymore & I'll give the game away! Clue there... )
Q2) Are either of them current players? No.
Q3) Did they play before WW1? Yes.
Q4) Did they play in the First Test Match? No.
Q5) Did it occur in an Ashes Test? Yes.
Q) Was it the captain's who started this tradition? I honestly don't know! I suspect not, but as I can't answer "yes" or "no" I won't count this question.
Q6) Did it start in England? Strictly speaking, No.
Q7) Did it occur before the turn of the century? Yes.
Q8) Has it something to do with giving a warning? As in a Mankad No.
Q9) Is it to do with the 1882/83 Test series? No.
clue: the first concerns the composition of a particular country's (obviously a choice of two!) test side.
Q10) Okay is the above clue for the Australian Team? No.
Ok, my next clue is that 3 members of the most recent England test team can be said to be upholding this "tradition"......

Q11) Yes! (although the first refers to England test players born outside of our borders, I think Australia beat us to it) Can you name the players?Jamee999 said:
& it's the laser-gubbins that's allegedly restoring Warney's thatch to its former glory. I thought it looked pretty comical.
