Cricket stuff that doesn't deserve its own thread

Was anyone else listening to tms yday. Zaltzman had a question, before root, Brook and smith right now, when was the last time England had 3 players in an xi who all averaged 50+.
Did anyone hear the answer or happen to know?
My random guess was trott, root ballance but I'm sure that is wrong.

Plenty of times they've had 3+ bowlers averaging over 50, unlikely batsmen though

When Root hit 50+, Trott had dipped below

Maybe its some combination of Root/Ballance and a debutant who hit 50 early on. Could even be someone like Bresnan.

The criteria was they had to have 1000 runs. I think if must be back in the day when barrington was around

Randomly channel surfing and stumbled upon some masters game with Pakistan playing England. Watched the first delivery and Shoaib Malik spins one past Phil Mustard. Gone for all money and Kamran Akmal literally misses the ball and doesn’t know where it is. Really took me back!

I know there have been plenty of father/son duos playing cricket. Also relatives.

But there's an entire XI of young players in county cricket. That are sons/relatives of people I've watched play before. Seems an unusually large amount all coming through at roughly the same time.

Step son or something?

Step son or something?

Was given his mums maiden name at birth for reasons unknown.

"I took my mum's name at birth," he says. "I have no clue and I have never asked my parents why.

"I have always been happy with it and I have never really been bothered enough to ask."
