Here's a quiz question with a minorly interesting piece of trivia.

This picture shows Marsh and Sheahan celebrating winning the Oval Test in 1972. Knott and one of the umpires are in the background, but who is the other man in the picture?

I had to look up who actually lined up for England in that Test, but is that Barry Wood?

I can see that my picture quiz captured the imagination.

Just in case anyone is gagging for the answer it's Geoff Howarth.

Ha, he played for Surrey didn't he - so did England rope him in as a sub fielder at his county home ground?

Yes. It was the norm in those days for a young County pro from the host County to act as an emergency fielder. Generally of course they didn't go on to captain another Country in Tests.

I note that Bob Willis was a sub in Australia's second innings and it definitely isn't him. I'll go along with @The Sean - it is the right height and hair colour for Barry Wood.
