New Cricket Trivia - 'SJS format'

[archie mac]

C'mon Jamee get a Q up!

 

[SJS]

OK Jaimee your 24 hours deadline is long gone.

Here is a question from me instead.

What is unique about test cricketers ....

- Clarrie Grimmett (Australia)
- Charlie smith (South Africa)
- Walter Lees (England)
- Kevin Wright (Australia)
- Hedley Howarth (New Zealand)
- Mansoor Akhtar (Pakistan)
- Marcus Trescothick (England)
- 'Tich' Cornford (England)

....and one Pakistani cricketer whose name is with held because of very interesting reasons. We will disclose that if and when we come to the clue stage ?

Christmas Time !

 

[SJS]

Christmas Time !

Well done boss !! They were all born on 25th of December.

The missing Pakistani cricketer is called Ramazan" pronounced Ramadaan in the West

Your turn.

 

[Jamee999]

I'll jump in.

What do:

Sue Rattray
Sandra Braganza
Jenny Owens
Eileen Badham
Gillian McConway

have in common that no other cricketer has ever done (and is unlikely to do again).

 

[SJS]

Ok. No one seems to have a clue so how about giving one.

 

[SJS]

Q1. Is it a test record ?

 

[SJS]

Q2. Are they the first to do something for their country in woman's cricket ?

 

[SJS]

Q3. Is it a record to be proud of ?

 

[SJS]

OK I might just have it.

They all made their ODI debut playing for an International XI and not their respective national sides.

1. Sandra Braganza :
England Women v International XI Women at Hamilton - Jan 14, 1982

2. Jenny Owens :
New Zealand Women v International XI Women at Auckland - Jan 12, 1982

3. Sue Rattray :
England Women v International XI Women at Brighton - Jun 23, 1973

4. Gillian McConway :
New Zealand Women v International XI Women at Auckland - Jan 12, 1982

5. Eileen Badham :
England Women v International XI Women at Brighton - Jun 23, 1973

And if that is correct, as I think it must be, I am more proud of this than any other answer i have given on the trivia threads

 

[Jamee999]
