Since Brod likes a quiz (let's go back, way back)

[rogernumber10]

His category of cricketer may make it a bit easy. His state a little bit harder perhaps so I'll go a bit more obscure, just for the challenge.

He sported a very fine moustache and went on a major overseas five test tour during his career, and played test cricket.

[Dogwatcher]

Same last name as another fine Australian cricketer?

[rogernumber10]

Richie Robinson

28 and last of them. Former Sheffield Shield player of the year when he hit five hundreds in a summer and got himself on the 77 Ashes tour as Marsh's back-up, and then we decided to put him in against the new ball.

Now, all you need is the other two who are sadly no longer with us, aside from Woolmer and Hookes.

[Dogwatcher]

That's who I was thinking of.

Any relation to Ray Robinson?

Not that I know of. Ray Robinson was a great writer too. His old books still hold up very well for any re-read.

According to Gideon as my reference, he didn't play WSC. (I thought he actually did, but Gideon doesn't list him)

[rogernumber10]

With both of those gone, anyone prepared to have a go at:

- the 20 guys who played for the world team.
- the 20 guys who played for the windies.

Much tougher two questions there, unless you cheating and looking them up.

[brod]

R. Fredricks
M. Holding
V. Richards

Well that's a 13-13 start.

Very much so. I have a couple of his books also. His book on Australia's captains is one of the best.

[Dogwatcher]

World side:

Vijay (?) Contractor
Barry Richards
Clive Rice
Tony Greig
Derek Underwood
Glenn Turner
Dennis Amis
Imran Kahn
Alan Knott
Bob Woolmer
Zaheer Abbas
John Snow

On Top Down Under. One of the very best. Gideon actually updated it a few years ago to include Hughes through to Taylor.

10 down with 10 to go. Contractor too old I think by then and Turner refused from memory, or Ian Chappell hated him too much and he didn't get asked.

[brod]

World side Ill add

Mike Proctor
Eddie Barlow (dec)
Javed Miandad
Asif Iqbal
Safraz Nawaz

[brod]

I think that the rest are Pakistani players, Not sure but think weve got the Poms and South Africans
