New Cricket Trivia - 'SJS format'

[stumpski]

Did he play after 1970?


Left-handed batsman?

 

[fredfertang]

His test career was finished by 1970 but not his f/c career - RHB

 

[stumpski]

Did he play county cricket at all?

 

[fredfertang]

Love the avatar David - It's a photo of your younger brother isn't it?

No County Cricket - difficult to think of a hint that doesn't give it away but if it helps he was Jamaican

 

[stumpski]

It's a comment on the way I often feel talking to all the 13-16 year olds on here. Those who think you're as good as dead once you hit 40.


Opening batsman?

 

[fredfertang]

Glad I'm a few months older than 16 then!

Yes he was an opener

 

[stumpski]

Thought I had it then with Easton McMorris, an opener from Jamaica - he was run out without facing in his second Test after making 13 and 16 in his first.

Hopefully I'll get this soon as I have a question waiting!

 

[fredfertang]

You did get it Easton's the man - it wasn't his debut - I had to edit the question

 

[stumpski]

So you did, see how you get on with this - I won't be online much longer though.

What did this player achieve in 2005, which hadn't been done since 1976?

 

[fredfertang]

Was it Paul Parker who he emulated?

 

[stumpski]

Yes ... you're almost there already.

 

[zaremba]

Double hundred for Cambridge?

 

[stumpski]

Not exactly, but you're on the right lines - I thought Mr Fertang knew who it was actually.

 

[zaremba]

Double hundred for a university against a county?

 

[stumpski]

Yes - he had a good cricket name as well.

And he opened with one of the 'Men in Black.'

(not a New Zealander)

 

[fredfertang]

I had been aware of the Somerset v Durham UCCE game when Alistair Maiden got his double ton and checked that Parker did the same - I was flirting with it a bit because I found it difficult to believe that the Uni's hadn't produced a double for so long so I think we have to give that one to Mr Z

 

[archie mac]

I might jump in with a quick one

Who played and umpired in the same Test Match?

 

[zaremba]

Was it someone like Bobby Simpson?

 

[archie mac]

Was it someone like Bobby Simpson?

No, it was a long time ago

 

[stumpski]

Match played in Australia?


19th century?
