@vkc1000 Played and skippered Middlesex …

Last question of the day. What's the name of the batsman showing in the below picture 👇

@Jvm_Manoj Benaud and Trueman are obvious but is the Ump John Langridge?

If you know this legend without searching your cricket knowledge is peak 👀 Guess the Bowler name ?

@vkc1000 Amiss

1st question of the day. Identify the batsman in this pic. Hint- He was the first ever to get a ton in a World Cup match.

@BabajiSutar3 Reid

Can you guess the Australian fast bowler without the help of Google 👀

@ab_nufc @englandcricket I’m afraid that instant Cricket is like instant coffee! I have no real memories of the shorter game but lasting memories of Test Cricket. And RCB have put the player first. They are clearly happy to let him go!? I am sorry for people who have no memory of life before pyjamas!

@englandcricket This should not be allowed. Sit in the RCB dugout & let the club doctors treat him. He has a contract with the franchise. England Tests aren't all that important. I'm glad Jofra is staying with the Royals.

Official Statement - Jacob Bethell The England and Wales Cricket Board has agreed with Royal Challengers Bangalore that top-order batter Jacob Bethell will return to the UK after sustaining a left ring finger injury while playing in the Indian Premier League. He will be fully assessed and monitored by the England Men’s medical team on his return to determine his availability for selection for the Rothesay first Test against New Zealand at Lord’s, starting on Thursday 4 June.

@BabajiSutar3 He carried a brief case with his predictions for his own contribution for each match he played! And his home is apparently decorated with his Cricketing memorabilia. Quite the contrast to a great England fast bowler who had nothing in his house to suggest sport!

Can you guess the bowler below 👇

@mans786 @SagarH62 And I’m Clint Eastwood 🤣

@SagarH62 Sagar , price this question for upto 1m That's graeme Fowler Howzzat

Cricket fans, this one’s for the OGs 👀 No Google. No hints. Just cricket knowledge 🧠 Who is he?

@SagarH62 And I’ll add for you youngsters. Study the history of the game. Only Tendulkar matches Bradman, Hobbs and Hutton. No one in the modern game! And Bradman is alone in top spot. And Sobers the best all round Cricketer of the lot. What do you think Martin @fredfertang ?

@SagarH62 A very tough man indeed. Hard as nails and an uncompromising Cricketer who said what it was. Also turned down elite umpiring as he did not want to spend life on a plane. One of the best Umps too. Saw his last Test 40 odd in each dig at Lords. Huge respect PW.

@BabajiSutar3 Walter Hammond! Eddie Paynter? To some of us Lord G retired the day before yesterday!

Can you guess the classy English player 👇 One of my favourite though ❤️

@jackrussellart @WarwickshireCCC @englandcricket @EnglandRugby MJK & AC “.. Yes .. No .. Yes .. No” & then both stranded half way down “I thought you called … I thought YOU called” followed by apologies to each other! Not sure who was run out though … and they both said @GeoffreyBoycott was a terrible runner! 🫣

Very sad to hear the passing of MJK Smith @WarwickshireCCC @englandcricket @EnglandRugby Brilliant all round sportsman, great to talk to, positive, and above all, a top guy #RIP Manager

@cricdrugs And was wounded in Sicily WW2, captured by the Germans, and died of his wounds in Italy soon after.

Once upon a time, Don Bradman was his bunny. Can you identify the cricketer?

@BobBorsley @jackrussellart @WarwickshireCCC @englandcricket @EnglandRugby It’s just that Wheatley could not bat at all!! I can see an aghast MJK watching Ossie coming out to bat and betting on a first baller!! Great sportsman MJK.

@samingosailing @jackrussellart @WarwickshireCCC @englandcricket @EnglandRugby I don’t recall all the detail.

@BobBorsley @jackrussellart @WarwickshireCCC @englandcricket @EnglandRugby And Wheatley got 10! How? :)

@jackrussellart @WarwickshireCCC @englandcricket @EnglandRugby x.com/bobborsley/sta…

@jackrussellart @WarwickshireCCC @englandcricket @EnglandRugby @jackrussellart I’m led to believe there was some legendary calling including some between MJK and AC. Good man.

@cricdrugs Verity

@vkc1000 They were all terrific. What does after Marshall mean? If I had to pick two it would be Marshall and Ambrose.

If you had to rank them up in order, what will be their ranking? Who were the best among them in 70s-80s era after Marshall? 1. Andy Roberts 2. Michael Holding 3. Dennis Lillee 4. Richard Hadlee

@PictureSporting Nice man. Played a couple of charity matches for me. Go back a bit further to Eric Russell …

One of my favourite players as a kid ... Mike Smith of Middlesex was originally a spinner who became a trusty opener. He played five ODIs and passed 1000 runs every summer from 1969 to 1977 (Patrick Eagar)

@OversLife Doug Walters …

Only a few can identify this Cricketer these days… Can you ❓ Elegant batsman (74 Tests, 1970s) known for his flair and big scores against pace…. but often overshadowed by the Chappells and others in a golden era. Reliable and stylish without the massive hype.

@BabajiSutar3 Safraz Nawaz and honestly, as it was my home county, as mad as a box of frogs. Superb bowler.

Do you know this bowler below 👇 , the pioneer of the reverse swing !
