bradman?

 

[nightprowler10]

(sigh). That's the second time someone said Bradman. The guy I'm talking about NEVER played in the Bodyline series.

 

[Gilly Fan]

Armstrong?

 

[nightprowler10]

No.

 

[icyman]

J Ryder... ?
I'm not sure whether it is Jack or John.

 

[nightprowler10]

No. I'm allowing multiple answers as this is quite a tough one. Anyway, here's another hint.

Clue#2: The batting milestone I was talking about is him scoring the first Test double century on Australian soil. Should be easier now.

 

[Gilly Fan]

Trumper!

 

[nightprowler10]

No. Okay, one more clue.

Clue#3: He has played the most Test matches by a non-Englishman at Lords.
