Brothers
There are lots of brothers in the WC squads and it seems that there are always a lot of brothers in cricket
more than any other sport at international level? Pakistan - Akmal NZ - McCullum WI - Bravo India - Pathan Ireland - O'Brien Kenya - Ngoche And if Albie Morkle had been selected then that would have been half the world cup squads playing with brothers It's understandable for Ireland and Kenya maybe because the required standard is not so high, but the others are all test playing nations It's hard to imagine any other sport with this many siblings in it. How many brothers played in the last football world cup? Anyone able to shed some light on why this may be? Last edited by xanderbiscuits; 24-02-2011 at 11:22 PM. |

Funnily enough, all members of the Tasmanian first class squad are related.

David and Mike Hussey would both be there, but for... Well I'm still not sure why not.
