Ah yes. Cheers A. My most oft repeated error, amongst a litany. Cool

And JGK has one.

Didn't Fatty and Potter do it against the 'Bannies' a couple of years back? Hamilton or some such ungodly place?

by skully Wed 13 Jul 2011, 10:29

Indeed they did, Dan. Noice work. Smile

God, they're so fat and speccy respectively.

I've sort of 'cheated' and found the other by way of reading a couple of match reports of the one I got.

But I won't say, I'll let someone else get it. I'll give a clue though: Strines. One went 'BANG!' the other went 'QUNT!'.

by skully Wed 13 Jul 2011, 10:44

No such thing as cheating, Dan. I only "object" if someone finds one of my direct sources (not Cricinfo articles or trivia sections) and pretends they've done the research (you know who you are if you are watching).

JGK is the forum genius at Search and Destroy, while MB is the master of the targeted Crinfo search. AD just sleeps in piles of stats books. Cool

Heh, a fair clue by Dan.

Aye, well sometimes I have the answer but like to let others answer as they're probably trawling. I like this clues thing though...

by skully Wed 13 Jul 2011, 10:58

Good man. Feel free to point the punters in the right direction.

Yeah, JGK and others like a trawl. Our banker mate's excuse (he generally trawls after 6.00 pm Aus time from work) is that it saves him having to go home and bath the kids. Laughing

by Brass Monkey Wed 13 Jul 2011, 11:07

No doubt I'd feel the same! Who wouldn't prefer triv-trawling!

Chappelli and Bill v Windies.

surely ALL the pages are stuck together by now

I'm glad I'm not the only one that noticed all the "aww, and he went BANG!" malarkey from the great Bill Lawry.

Another topical one. Kirk Edwards made a 100 on debut for WI at Roseau, which was making its debut as a Test ground. He became the 12th player to achieve the feat. I'll give you Charlie Bannerman (in the 1st ever Test), but can you name the other 10? Some of these should be well guessable.

165* AC Bannerman Aus v Eng Melbourne(1)

GSC obviously

Dave Houghton made a century on debut so that would probably be on the list.

by WideWally Thu 14 Jul 2011, 10:39

Charlie Bannerman wasn't AC. That was his brother.

by WideWally Thu 14 Jul 2011, 10:51

Bryan Valentine?

by Allan D Thu 14 Jul 2011, 10:53

Quite right, Wally, that was Alec. Charlie is simply given as "C.Bannerman" in the scorecards.
