Trivia question

[Gwylan]

Following on from the sporting dream thread.

I said I'd like to score a century in an Ashes test at Lord's. It got me thinking as to who had done it - a select group of 14 English players have scored a century against the Aussies.

I'll tell you that one was AG Steel, the other 13 are more well-known.

Can anyone name all 13?

(and for a bonus, name which three have done it twice)?

Nope. He didn't make a century against anyone at Lord's (in a test match that is)

CaM is on fire: 9 guesses, 6 right

There are seven more to go - one of which is an obvious one, the other six a bit harder
