They all suggest end of 1970s - early 1980s.

Is there some such time frame? Like highest scores v Oz in WSC era?

SOmething to do with pairs? Or scoreless matches?

by PeterCS Wed 13 Jan 2016, 01:03

I thought at first it was "worst starts in Test cricket" - remembering Gucci got a pair in his first. But even before checking some such calculation, I checked Rowe - and saw he got off to a mahoosive debut. And in any case, not sure if Rowe could come up twice in that case. Sic transit gloria theoriae.

But the other two Rowes who played Test cricket also didn't score a run in their debut tests.

IS it Tests?

(Or ODI, FC ....?)

Ah.

So you may be on to something, chronologically arranged.

The next trivia question will be about the 2000 Bangladesh team.

by WideWally Wed 13 Jan 2016, 04:27

And there could be a million questions about ......

But I suspect it will be probably about Lillee & Thomson.

by WideWally Wed 13 Jan 2016, 04:28

.. and then there is the 1974/75 Australians.

by WideWally Wed 13 Jan 2016, 04:34

And the Australian team from the mid-nineties through to 2008.

by JGK Wed 13 Jan 2016, 04:51

WW, are you sure you're on the right thread?

by WideWally Wed 13 Jan 2016, 04:58

Sorry. I forgot to take my medications. I was about to post The Laughing Gnome video & suddenly realised what was happening.

But the first video is relevant. I'm sure Taips nailed it - Captains of Rebel tours to South Africa.

by taipan Wed 13 Jan 2016, 05:31

Aye Wally, I got the first video. The rest were just bonus. Very Happy

by OP Tipping Wed 13 Jan 2016, 05:39

Very nice work, taipan.

These were the captains of the seven rebel tours to South Africa.

Got lucky. Was trying to tie Rowe's and Gooch's triples into some sort of progression and remembered both toured here.
