let’s remember some guys

[Moss]

Jehan Mubarak you’d think falls squarely in this category, 13 tests and 40 ODIs spread over 13 (!) years, with 4 half centuries to show for it. The one abiding memory I have is him scoring 49 and supporting Chandimal when the latter scored that crazy 162 vs India in the second innings at Galle in 2015. Jehan was dropped for good one test later.

 

[Shady Slim]

Think he has, but not a “guy” by the definition of this thread. Definitely belongs in the conversation of best glovemen in the 90s, though his batting was too unreliable for my liking.

tbf i would like to note and maybe i should've been more specific with the op

the purpose of Guy Remembering is largely to bandy about old names you may have forgotten but you'd have fun reminiscing about, and not to gatekeep based on a strict definition of who is and isn't a guy

in saying that, excellent call here and true true guys probably do run close to this sort of output

Fair enough, no need for too many limiting factors, cheers

Adam Dale ( Hope not mentioned earlier)
He played his 1st Test when Tendulkar was destroying Australian bowling attack(3rd Test 1998)
He played his 2nd Test (last test) when Lara was destroying Australian bowling attack.(4th Test 1999)

Aus won both the Test he played .

Chandimal is probably one for the future in this thread. I barely remember him still playing unless his name is mentioned.

He made an amazing double hundred against Aus recently. He's played too many good innings to be mentioned here.

Also that Galle century against India.

nah even i would say chandimal's a proper gun too good for this thread

 

[Prince EWS]

Yeah he's played almost 300 internationals and has 17 tons, many of which were seriously gun Test innings.
