Geoff Greenidge Ex-Sussex opener.

[Leekbrookgull]

Holds a rather unique cricketing piece of history. Does anyone know it ??

 

[East Staffs Gull]

Longest throw?

 

[Deano's Right Foot]

Yes. I know.

 

[Lankyseagull]

He was the last white player to be selected to play for the West Indies.

 

[Deano's Right Foot]

...He was white and payed for the West Indies - but maybe that's not it??
Surely that's not unique?

 

[Leekbrookgull]

Nothing to do with throw.

 

[East Staffs Gull]

Longest throw?

Having now looked up the answer, I see that I was wrong. My second guess would have been longest time to get off the mark. That would have been wrong too!

 

[MattBackHome]

Most woodenest bat?

 

[Leekbrookgull]

East,his was at times slow,but 1st prize to Lanky.

 

[Alan Gilliver]

He scored a double hundred for Barbados and took 10 wickets in an innings when he was 19...not sure if that is unique

 

[fatbadger]

The only cricketer with 100+ test appearances to have played in the Scottish league (for Greenock).

 

[Moshe Gariani]

The only cricketer with 100+ test appearances to have played in the Scottish league (for Greenock).

I think that may be a different Greenidge...?

 

[Jesus Gul]

Cricketer that sounds the most like a road at the back of Westdene?

 

[Simster]

The old pics of the West Indies team in the 50s always make me laugh. Loads of black faces in the squad and one white face - he was always the captain.

The British Empire in a nutshell.
