Trivia question

[Gwylan]

Brearley
Parker

Which ones?

The answer's no anyway - neither of the Brearleys or Parkers did

 

[8ace]

Archie McLaren?

 

[Gwylan]

Archie McLaren?

Good guess - but no. You have to think slightly earlier for one them.

 

[The Large One]

Colin Cowdrey
Basil d'Olivera

 

[Gwylan]

Colin Cowdrey
Basil d'Olivera

No, Cowdrey surprised me too.

Dolly scored his famous Ashes century at The Oval.

One of the players you need is very famous - the second top run scorer of all time.

Must be pre war some of these

 

[Brovion]

[IKDRF]

K.S. Duleepsinhji and Len Hutton and a very wild guess at Patsy Hendren

Cant think of any others

 

[Gwylan]

To stop people saying names over again, we already have:
Boycott
John Edrich
Duleepsinhji
Gower
Hobbs
Hutton
Hammond
Leyland
Steel
Strauss
Woolmer

No, Randall and Grace aren't right

Cant think of any others

Hendren is correct - two to go

 

[IKDRF]

Which ones?

The answer's no anyway - neither of the Brearleys or Parkers did

Surely you dont mean Paul Parker who's international career started and ended at the Oval in 1981

 

[Gwylan]

Reminder of the clues:

WG's favourite other batsman
A double international

One played for Notts, one played for Yorkshire

 

[8ace]

Wilf Rhodes?

 

[Gwylan]

Surely you dont mean Paul Parker who's international career started and ended at the Oval in 1981

...and I don't think made double figures.

There was another Parker too - Charlie, who took over 3,200 wickets and, incredibly, only played once for England.

 

[Gwylan]

Wilf Rhodes?

No, not sure he got a test match century

 

[IKDRF]

then, from the early days, I would go with Alan Steel, Arthur Shrewsbury and Gilbert Jessop im really scraping the barrell here

 

[Gwylan]

A further clue for the second one. He took part in a very famous partnership - possibly the most famous Ashes partnership of them all

 

[Gwylan]

then, from the early days, I would go with Alan Steel, Arthur Shrewsbury and Gilbert Jessop im really scraping the barrell here

Shrewsbury is correct (as was Steel)
