New Cricket Trivia - 'SJS format'

The Sean

Cricketer Of The Year
As a bowler, this man achieved three unique feats in a single Test match in 1960, but then never bowled a ball in international cricket again.

Who was he, and what were his achievements?

I can't remember how to spell his name but SA and his name was Griffin?

A hat-trick, called for throwing and not sure of the third will have to cheat and have a look at the score card:wacko:

Close enough mate - Geoff Griffin, the first South African to take a Test hat trick, the first man to take a hat trick at Lord's, and the first man ever to be no balled for throwing at Lord's too.

An eventful match for the man. :)

Yes, he would make a good what ever happened too (is that the right 2?)

In a tour match he was called again so reverted to underarm, and was then called for not signaling the change of styles:laugh:

Engle

State Vice-Captain
If nobody minds, I'll pose a qs which I'd like to use as a test of others trivia knowledge

Which is the first (only ?) instance of a fast bowler being banned from further bowling in a Test innings due to persistent short-pitched bowling ?

Name the fast bowler, the batsman whom the short-pitched deliveries were directed at and the umpires ?
