New Cricket Trivia - 'SJS format'

[ataraxia]

Hmm. Is X Malcolm Marshall and Y Tendulkar?

Nah because 1999 to 2013 is too short a span.

 

[AndrewB]

As an extra clue: Y and Z each have more than one close relative who also played Test cricket.

Shaheen Shah?

 

[Howe_zat]

I am guessing it's someone like Misbah Ul Haq or Shoiab Malik having played a game against Hansie Cronje. Can't find an appropriate 'Z' though.

 

[AndrewB]

I may have misled you all when I said "much more recent" - while the relevant matches did take place decades after those for the Duff/Storer-Rhodes-Sealy trio, they aren't particularly recent now.

 

[Line and Length]

Time for a new question?

What do fast bowlers Charles Kortright, Roy Gilchrist, Frank Tyson and Jeff Thomson have in common?

 

[Lillian Thomson]

Leaving aside the appalling spelling of Thomson - they all hit the sightscreen with a bouncer.

haha I think you're just going to have to give us the answer for this mate.

Not sure it really fits the format, but here's a trivia question:

X played in a Test in which Y also played.
Y played in a Test in which Z also played.
X died before Z was born.
Who are X, Y and Z?

(There are three possible answers, though two of them involve the same Y and Z).

Final (pretty big) hint for the third answer: The test that X and Y both played in, the death of X and the birth of Z all happened in 1959.

Yes ... and I've corrected the 'appalling spelling'.

Don't have time to completely figure this out, but Y would be Mushtaq Mohammad or Nasim ul-Ghani I'm pretty sure.

 

[Teuton]

Is X Collie Smith?

 

[AndrewB]

Yes (and Y is Mushtaq Mohammad).

 

[ataraxia]

X = Collie Smith
Y = Mushtaq Mohammad
Z = Brendon Bracewell
