While its wet outside I thought I'd try a modest cricket related quiz to see if there are any takers.
Famous couples (one triple) or word associations linked with cricketers names, plus a nice clue to put you on track. Nice and easy.
1. Elementary - England and Yorkshire great/Big lad, recent Australian all rounder. Percy Holmes/Shane Watson
2. Cambridge - Leicestershire/Sussex/Warwickshire keeper/John (ogo) Australian keeper very short test career in the 70's v England. Micheal Burgess/John Maclean
3. Arches - High profile ex cop works for the ICC/New Zealand T20 man, played for us and others recently. Sir Ron Flanagan/Finn Allen
4. I presume - Currently with England in India/His new county colleague. Liam Livingstone/Mitchell Stanley
5. Comedy duo - Keeper for Notts and England/John Victor, bowler with 14 caps for Australia before WW1 Bruce French/JV Saunders
6. Household - South African great who was restricted to playing only7 tests/George Frederick played for Surrey circa 1900. Mike Proctor/GF Gamble
7. US Comedy - Recently dropped England player, probably because of the hair/Sir George Oswald Browning, call me Gubby. Rory Burns/Gubby Allen
8. Hardware - Reginald James, born 12 Aug 1885 played 5 games for Gloucestershire/Ed, played 4 T20 for Gibraltar pre covid. RJ Hewlett/Ed Packard.
9. Footware - Titch/Jonathan James Ean born in Kenya played for Glos, Somerset and Hants in the 80's/Bob. Titch Freeman/JJE Hardy/Bob Willis
10. On and off - David Cecil Fowler Cambridge/MCC and Yorkshire (captain)/James, Leicestershire, Notts and England, career ended prematurely. DCF Burton/James Taylor.
I think they are dead easy, but then again I know the answers.
