Ah, that takes me back to the days of my early teens listening to the early morning ABC Radio coverage of the Aus tour of the West Indies.

Same. Sadly that transistor radio, which had enormous sentimental value having been sent back from Vietnam by my uncle, is long lost.

Anderson Roberts is an impressive name in its own way.

So too Shivnarine Chanderpaul, Tagenarine Chanderpaul and Lawrence Prittipaul .... though possibly not related to this thread.

Dammit, the (on this Forum only, hopefully) late lamented Gazza got the chanderpauls, if not the prittipaul.

All so long ago.

Fantastic. A relative of yours, DP?

I hope so. Discussed it in the Test thread.

Probably the first Gumby to achieve any kind of success!

I hadn’t scoured every thread on the forum Before posting.

It’s good to see a Gumby causing headaches for selectors.

I assume his christian name comes from being born on Christmas Day.

Beckham Reef Wheeler-Greenall. Snoozie under-19 prospect…

I’m petitioning for this guy to get into the Indian national team asap.

At last, a hill I can die on.

by lardbucket Fri Feb 18, 2022 7:22 am

Hope you are successful.

by horace Fri Feb 18, 2022 7:27 am

Great name.

There’s an Eden who plays against us in our local cricket association.

by furriner Fri Feb 18, 2022 5:40 pm

Yeah but he’s no Eden Apple Tom.

by lardbucket Fri Feb 18, 2022 10:34 pm

Indeed.

He could have had a more interesting surname - like Gardinov, or Tulous, or Ede ... but he doesn’t. Boring f*cker.

by beamer Fri Feb 18, 2022 10:52 pm

Project? (bit of a UK reference there…)

If his bowling’s wayward he’s a bit of an Eden Hazard…

In the Sri Lankan Scrabble set, the letters 'H', 'K',and 'W' are relatively cheap, 'A' is the universal vowel, but the letter 'O' must be worth 8?
