Interesting Trivia

[Blewy]

Who is the only player to score 100 on Test debut and after that never play another Test????

 

[Blewy]

In fact i have just found another 1...

So there are 2 players...

1 player played 1 test he batted in the 1st inns and scored a hundred and was dropped, and never played another Test...

the 2nd player scored a century in the 1st inns and a 50 in the 2nd before not playing another test due to moving overseas.....

One is a kiwi called Redmond I think.

RE Redmond from NZ got 107 and 56.

AG Ganteaume from WI got 112.

Thems the ones...

Ganteaume was dropped from the Windies side after scoring 112 for scoring to slowly...

He opened in the 1st inns and in the 2nd was demoted due to the Windies looking for quick runs to win the Test..
The match ended in a draw, the Windies falling 69 runs short...

Ganteaume was blamed for the draw and was subsequently dropped...

Funnily enough Sir Frank Worrell also made his debut in that match and made 97 and 28* and also took 1/85 from 37 overs...

So who knows what Ganteaume could have been????

Wasn't his debut and he was in the side as a bowler, not a batsman!

 

[Paid The Umpire]

Charles Marriot of England took...

5-37 and 6-59 in the first test against the Windes in 1933.

He never played another TEST!
