Parsana, i know had some physical disability, dont remember exactly what kind, did Jim had something similar?

Its Prasanna and not Parsana. Their was another cricketer by that name, Dhiraj Parsana who was not an off spinner.

I am not aware if Prasanna had a physical disability. In any case thats not eht similarity I am talking about.

Well they both appear to have scored more runs against Australia than any other opponent and indeed the total and averages are very similar - am I getting warm?

Both have bowled in 86 test innings?..... NO.

As I said it has to do with their batting stats :)

Sounds a bit beyond me - is it related to the split of their runs scored home/away or 1st Innings/2nd Innings?

No.

Okay before I give the answer I must tell you that this whole format was made so that one could ask completely unrecognisable queries (at least when first asked) and yet the initial queries would be aimed not at guessing the answer but in narrowing down the field and getting to know the query, as it were.

Most of the early stalwarts of this thread are gone or rarely visit so I find the effort is to try and guess the answer, Thats always going to be difficult.

For example, one could, in the current case have asked
1. Is the stat Batting (or bowling for that matter) related?
2. Is it something to be proud of? (telling whether or not it is ducks etc.
3. Is it related to dismissal/mode of dismissal?

and so on. The narrowing down of the field is the only way to get it right more often than not. By trying to actually guess the question Or asking questions which give a partial answer may end up using most of the question plus give a feeling that one is not getting anywhere and then one tends to give up.

I do hope I am making some sense.

Okay the answer to this is that the percentage on unbeaten innings (not outs) of both Laker and Prasanna is identical (to the infinite place of decimal)
  • Laker : 15 out of 63
  • Prasanna : 20 out of 84
both working out at 5/21 or 23.80952381 % :)

Interesting stuff SJS, and I've just been reading the early posts of this thread as I'd never bothered to before (hadn't realised it'd been going nearly four years!). It's a pity that JASON (an acronym for the months July - November?) in particular seems to have disappeared.

I take it it's OK, as we have different contributors now, to ask general trivia questions though?

Such as,

Can you give two examples - not involving India or Pakistan - of uncle and nephew playing Test cricket for different teams?
