Just one more step now ...
He played in 28 test matches...JASON said:Charles Bannerman
Nope !!Somerset said:He played in 28 test matches...
Still can't be him - he died in 1924 while Bradman only made his debut in 1928.JASON said:Nope !!
NO. That was Alexander C Bannerman.Somerset said:He played in 28 test matches...
It certainly can't be Billy Midwinter, because he died very shortly after his playing days. The other option is Blackham, but my guess it must be Bannerman.Somerset said:Still can't be him - he died in 1924 while Bradman only made his debut in 1928.
Ah, was completely off track - I was looking at the 1880 tour scorecard in which A.Bannerman was playing, rather than the 1978 one. Well done Jason.SJS said:NO. That was Alexander C Bannerman.
Charles bannerman,
the first batsman to face a ball in test cricket
the first to score a fifty
the first to score a century
the first to retire hurt
the holder of the record of highest proportion of a team's total score in an innings , a record that has stod through the 129 years of test cricket !!
played only three test matches.
Well done Jason.
Your turn.
Charles Banerman died on 20th August 1930.Somerset said:Still can't be him - he died in 1924 while Bradman only made his debut in 1928.
Sorry, I was referring to Alexander Bannerman with that date (1924) too.SJS said:Charles Banerman died on 20th August 1930.
Q1 No .( I am going off line soon. Sorry, Mate!!) Post your answers will check tomorrow.Somerset said:Bert Sutcliff?
Bingo !! Well done !! Your turn !!Somerset said:Walter Hadlee!
That was superb. When you said Bert Sutcliffe, I thought you were just hitting out blindly since Sutcliffe was a left hander. But this was too good.JASON said:
Bingo !! Well done !! Your turn !!
