Well done,Noodles.Incidentally,Willow,I suppose Randell will now understand what it,like to have an appeal turned down

 

[imported_Noodles]

Who were the 1st twins to play test cricket together in the same game.

 

[imported_midas]

Alec & Eric Bedser?

 

[imported_Noodles]

Not the answer I have.

I done some research just in case, It looks like Eric Bedser never played a test.

 

[Willow]

Are we still in the last 15 years...?

Anyway, when in doubt say the name Waugh....
The Waugh Bros.

 

[imported_Noodles]

Actually it is just greater than 15 years ago, but less than 20.

Not the Waughs.

 

[imported_Roopy4246]

Are the Flower brothers twins.

 

[imported_Noodles]

I don't think the Flowersare Roopy.

I'm sorry it's a bit of a tough question, and I hope everyone doesn't get too shitty with me about it when they find out the answer.

I'll givea hint - they played for NZ. It was just over 15 years ago.

Testing the old memory here and I can,t access the cricinfo site but did Richard Hadlee have a twin?Dale,I think.

 

[imported_Noodles]

Midas

Checked cricinfo, They were just brothers

 

[imported_midas]

After researching the databases of all cricket-playing nations and drawing a blank,it occured to me that maybe I was researching the wrong gender.Bingo ! Rosemary and Elizabeth Signal played together in a Test for NZ v. England in 1984.
Good one,Noodles.

 

[imported_Noodles]

Well done Midas

The Waughs were the 1st males. A cricket mate of mine asked me this question, and everyone in the team thought the waughs, and this guy's credibility was put in to question till we found out the answer !

 

[imported_midas]

This should be a quick one.After Trevor Chappell,s infamous underarm incident,the ICB changed the laws to ban underarm bowling in International Cricket.True or false?

 

[Willow]

That'd be true

 

[imported_Roopy4246]

false

 

[imported_midas]

Correct,Roopy.Underarm has only been banned in One-dayers.It is still Ok in Tests and any matches played under MCC Laws.
Can,t wait for Brett Lee to send down an underarm rocket next time we play NZ.

Another trick question - which Australian was regarded as the best ever all rounder in cricket (you will need to think like ozbash to solve this).
