Very good indeed.Border played the centenary test at the start of his career to make it 5 tours.
The bit about tests?The thread title has been edited right? Making me look a bit silly
YeahThe bit about tests?
Fraid not. If it's any consolation, your contribution about Fred's honeymoons is the best thing I've seen here for ages. Almost Brumbyesque.Yeah
Turns out my original reply was stupid then!Fraid not. If it's any consolation, your contribution about Fred's honeymoons is the best thing I've seen here for ages. Almost Brumbyesque.
That's extraordinary.Syd Gregory toured 8 times (1890, 1893, 1896, 1899, 1902, 1905, 1909, 1912)
Do you know why Kanhai didn't play in 1969?Was fairly confident that Rohan Kanhai and Deryk Murray would have given the length of their careers but both missed tours for different reasons and stalled on 4. Murray missed 1969 because Notts wouldn't release him from his contract.
He was apparently "injured", though I don't know any details.Do you know why Kanhai didn't play in 1969?
I checked on Bedi and Chandra but neither made 5 tours. The fact that there was no tour between 59 and 67 made Indians less likely. A bit surprising perhaps that no one from the 67 tour made it to 82.Odd that we haven't come up with a full-time spinner, as you'd expect them to play for ages. Gibbs only played in 4 series. Don't know about Bedi. I don't think Benaud played here five times.
