Sons of Cricketers

I wonder that more sons haven't followed in their father's footsteps. How many successful sons of cricketers have there been?

Shaun, son of Peter. Both were very good cricketers.

Stuart Broad

Faisal Iqbal was Javed Miandads nephew, if that counts?

Arnie and Ryan Sidebottom


Simon Jones and his Father

The three Chappells were grandsons of Victor Richardson who also captained his country.

Walter Hadlee produced Richard and Dayle.

Shoaib Mohammed - Had a decent career

The Broads.

There's more than I realised!

Shaun Pollock

Lance and Chris Cairns. Rodney Marsh's son Daniel is decent at domestic level. Geoff Marsh's son is batting at the moment.

Curtly Ambrose and Tim Ambrose

I'm sure a lot of cricketers have had sons . . .
I'm wondering how many have also had a successful career in cricket.

Sir Vivian Richards son, Mali Richards.

Sorry Dem, that wasn't stated in the question.


Now we look really silly.

Colossal offspring flops?

Gavaskar Jr.
Pringle Jr.

Thomas Hayden?

I'm pretty sure when Ian Bell grows some balls, his offspring will make Warwickshire the finest county in England and England the best team in the World.

James McGrath looked handy in the nets the other day.

Fixed..

Gordon Greenidge's son is a quick for one of the UK counties and CRaig McDermott's son played for Qld in the T20 last night.

I would have thought that there is a greater representation of father/ sons at high level cricket than would have been expected. PArticularly in the smaller countries like NZ and Saf.
