I went and checked Kenny on cricinfo, and he was Kenneth Charlie Griffith, so named for the former fast bowler.

I was thinking Kenny because his younger brother was the scorer in the Antigua Test in 1991 (yes true story) and his middle names were Frank Worrell and another brother was named something John Kennedy. Couldn't remember if Kenny got a politician or a cricketer from his dad, but wrote about the family at the time, and all the other Windies with exotic names.

Roger Woodcock -- 602 goals from a forward flank makes you a legend.

17) I'm not sure if it's a trick question or not, but there is no Sachin S Tendulkar - it's Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar. So would the answer be there isn't one? ;)
19) Wouldn't be Hansie Cronje, would it?
