Cricket-Match-Special ... A forum for discussion

Pretty standard game ...might have been a thread for this previously; if so I apologise.

I will give clues one at a time until it has been guessed.

Then someone else can have a go or I will plough on.

First clue is:

I am middle order batsman and a right-arm fast medium.

Ben Stokes?

I once famously lost my temper mid match - although it has never been made clear whether it was at a rival or at the umpires.

Botham

actually.... keeping it current.... Imran Khan

I died aged 62 in 1965

So played in the thirties and a batsman who bowled. Only one I can think of is Wally Hammond.

Got to be Wally.

Correct.

Want to take next one or shall I continue?

You go Prof!

In a flash of inspiration we can League-afy this.

So I will engineer it that all clues are more easily got as we go on so that the maximum number of clues before it becomes obvious is 5.

Anyone who gets it on the first clue will get 5 points, on the second clue they will get 4 points etc. etc.

So DD leads thus far with 3 points for guessing Hammond after three clues.

First clue: I am a bowling allrounder born in 1983.

Irfan Pathan or Dwayne Bravo.

Or the other way round depending on the points.

I was the first player to score a T20 five-fer for my country.

Ryan McLaren, the Lancashire all rounder.
