"25 Bowlers" - yes, just another Picture Quiz.
by PeterCS Tue 03 Dec 2013, 23:23
Cricket has a long lineage. Even Test history goes back almost as far as photography.
This is a very mixed set of 25 players, from over a century of the bloody stuff. I'd be very surprised if anyone correctly identified all 25, as there are some rare birds. ~ On the other hand, I'd be very surprised if anyone having a go at this didn't bag a good few.
It's a mixture of old, perhaps forgotten famous names, and newer individuals. The quality of each pic gives some clue as to age. As do style of dress, boots, etc.
This place is not really set up for quizzes. Even if I had prizes to offer, I can't lock the thread and ask for PMed answers. Nor can I stop this or that eejit (no names) wrecking the fun of the chase for (possible) others by blurting out a smart set of answers without a SPOILER.
But why not have a go. If you can, please don't be that eejit above - do use a SPOILER.
I'm not able to be here 24/7, but I will get back to any answers posted up here - in due course y'understand.
To save time, I've added a clue in each case, some cryptic - use it if you need it.
This is not a Christmas quiz, but my contribution to the hopeful merriment.
Have fun. Happy Pre-Christmas everyone. Don't buy too expensive presents.
