what has six toes and spins?

* nice article on a doughty cricketer *

Thought it was going to be about the Snoozer Guptill, he's lost toes as well hasn't he?

I did not know about that.

IRC it was Mike Denness that came up with or at least popularised the quip I used to 'headline' this thread on Fred Titmus, who I remember well showing the guts that his upper order colleagues lacked on the 74-5 tour.

"At the age 14, Guptill was involved in a crown forklift truck accident and lost three toes. (This fact was revealed to the world by provincial teammate Scott Styris whilst Styris was commentating on Guptill's ODI debut. This has since earned Guptill the nickname "Two Toes" within the Black Caps team.) "

What's the excuse of the rest of them?

What about:

What has three legs and flies open much of the time?
