Name the Cricketer

[Basil Fawlty]

I thought I would bring this game into NSC, I'll be putting a picture of a Cricketer and you have to guess who he is, and there is also bonus points for naming the fielders, wicketkeepers or even non striking batsman. If you get the picture right then the winner puts up the next picture of a Cricketer. Simple? Lets get it on with this beauty....

Silva was run out by Gibbs. I guess that is Boucher, but can't remember whether he was still playing then.

Yes you're correct with all three. Now continue....

Name all four...

I'll let you off the fifth (arm on the left).

No cheating now...

Beefy
Paul Parke (guess)
Graveney
Dean Jones

That's Paul ParkeR!

Correctumundo.

Paul Parker, now a master of Latin at Tonbridge School, I believe.

Just started the book and it seems to be a pleasant read, thus far. I am sure we can expect some obscure ones from you, PT.

OK then cricket lovers have a pop at these and yes they are obscure.
The only link between them is that they were my school cricket coaches in 1984 and 1985. Clues:
1. The younger one was the 1984 coach and returned to first class cricket in 1985 playing in the NatWest final and picking up the wicket of a cricketing knight.
2. The older one with the curly barnet (absolute legend this guy - top bloke) is now a first class umpire and goes by the nickname of Pasty.

1. Rory Hamilton Browns dad

2. Pasty Harris

The second one, I believe, is Michael Harris, but no idea about the first one. I just about remember the '87 final, but anything before that is a blur.

Curly bonce is Mike "Pasty" Harris. Great lad. He "acquired" a pair of Bruce French's keepers gloves for me at school (I was a lithe keeper in those days before Mr Lager entered my life).

More clues for the other one...in the aforementioned NatWest final of 85 he brilliantly ran out Chris Broad...he had a massive arm and could throw a javelin 70m +...he tried out for various US baseball teams and I think may have played pro baseball there for a while...his brother was in the same county side...he has been a county bowling coach for Essex and for the Dutch national team. Got it now?

Ian Pont ?

That's the fella Seecider. Well done. Over to you for the next question then...
