[BoyBrumby]

Is the player a coach of a Test team?

Q11) No.

Q11 Is It Dav Whatmore ? ( current Bangladesh coach and previous SL and Lancashire coach)

if not then is it Terry Jenner - because he served a Term in prison ?

( Here's excerpt from his cricinfo profile -"He retired the following season, but hit the headlines in 1988 when he was sent to prison for a white-collar crime." )

Q12) No.

Therefore:

Q13) No. (remember my unique distinction relates to something I am, rather than something I've done!)

Second clue: I played Sheffield Shield cricket for Victoria

Julien Wiener? because he is Jewish?

If that is right, you will have to take my turn BB as I will be away for a few days

If it is not right, then I have no more ideas

Yep, spot on! Go to the top of the class!

Julien Wiener is the only Jewish man to play test cricket for Austrlia (at least according to this article!)

Question

Which country has had the most Jewish International Cricketers ? Name them ? ------------------------------------------------------------

Australia with two.

One male (Julien Weiner) and one female (Ruth Buckstein).

To the best of my knowledge these are the only two Jewish test players.

 

[BoyBrumby]

I'd guess South Africa, actually. Both the Bachers (Ali & Adam) are Jewish & (although he didn't play tests he did play international cricket in the form of ODIs) so is Dale Benkenstein. There maybe others I'm not aware of.

I don't know of any English cricketers of Jewish extraction, which is pretty surprising really.

And Your guess is correct !!

South Africa it is. With Dr.Ali Bacher who was South African Captain when it was barred from Test Cricket in 1971. Also SA cricket board president recently and I hope a potential ICC chairman in the future !!

Adam his nephew is another. I didn't know that Dale Benkenstein was jewish. There is another player called Mandy Yachad who played one ODI only.

Because my question had not been worded correctly , I expected someone to have a dig by answering Israel as the country to have most jewish cricketers play International Cricket.

Anyway your turn Boy Brumby.

Why might that be taken away ?
