Nah because 1999 to 2013 is too short a span.

Time for a new question?
What do fast bowlers Charles Kortright, Roy Gilchrist, Frank Tyson and Jeff Thomson have in common?

Leaving aside the appalling spelling of Thomson - they all hit the sightscreen with a bouncer.

haha I think you're just going to have to give us the answer for this mate.
Final (pretty big) hint for the third answer: The test that X and Y both played in, the death of X and the birth of Z all happened in 1959.

Yes ... and I've corrected the 'appalling spelling'.

Don't have time to completely figure this out, but Y would be Mushtaq Mohammad or Nasim ul-Ghani I'm pretty sure.

I was never much of a history buff at school but in recent years I have grown to really take an interest all kinds of history.And Your guess is correct !!
South Africa it is. With Dr.Ali Bacher who was South African Captain when it was barred from Test Cricket in 1971. Also SA cricket board president recently and I hope a potential ICC chairman in the future !!
Adam his nephew is another. I didn't know that Dale Benkenstein was jewish. There is another player called Mandy Yachad who played one ODI only.
Because my question had not been worded correctly , I expected someone to have a dig by answering Israel as the country to have most jewish cricketers play International Cricket.
Anyway your turn Boy Brumby.
World Jewry and their movement & history has been really interesting. It isn't surprising that SA has had the most Jewish cricketers considering the influx of in particular Lithuanian/Latvian Jews from the late 1800s. The Diamond/Gold industry was also massive for Jews/Brits coming to SA and becoming wealthy. But they were also extremely vital in building SA when you think of Sammy Marks/Saul Solomon and many others. So cricket eventually became part of their culture here. But then again, England/Australia could also possibly have had more than they did.
Besides those Jewish SA cricketers mentioned there were others.
Manfred Susskind
Normon Gordon (for a while the oldest living test cricketer)
Sid O'Linn (Famously played professional football in England too - Johnny Waite's best friend)
Dennis Gamsy
In isolation years there were quite a few on top of Bacher /Gamsy/Yachad. The most well known being.
Lawrence Seeff (Played for SA Rebels)
Terence Lazard
PS only have to look through scorecards over time to see there were loads more in FC cricket.

Name the Test player who, while playing for his country's 2nd XI, took all 10 wickets in an innings for just 29 runs and then made 157 not out.
