In that case Andrew! It's a Fijian chap.

Which apparently means - returned alive from Nankula hospital at Lakemba island in the Lau group.

Means I get to ask my question from earlier after letting Zorax have my go

I'll wait for confirmation though

Correct! He played nine first class matches for Fiji on tours to New Zealand in 1948 and 1954.

It's quite a name! I wonder how long it took for him to learn it as a child.

I've got a few questions, but I'll go with this one, I get the feeling someone might get it.

Who is the only bowler to have dismissed the legendary Sir Donald Bradman for a duck more than once?

 

[ZoraxDoom]

Oooo!! it's one of these:
Clarrie Grimmet
Bill O Rielly
That South Africa leggie, whatshisname?

 

[puddleduck]

Nope, Nope and Nope.

 

[nightprowler10]

Are we talking strictly tests? Or all FC matches?

 

[ZoraxDoom]

I think FC, hence my guesses on Rielly and Grimmet.

 

[nightprowler10]

Was it Griffith by any chance? I remember reading he was the one to give the Don his first duck. Don't even think about asking me his first name.

 

[puddleduck]

Nope. Try test match players

 

[ZoraxDoom]

Ah. That medium-pacer allrounder from England, forgot his name! Alan and something with a B!!!
Alec Bedser!! Him??

 

[nightprowler10]

Verity?

 

[puddleduck]

Ah. That medium-pacer allrounder from England, forgot his name! Alan and something with a B!!!
Alec Bedser!! Him??

Wrong... actually no wait, what's the opposite of wrong? Right! Nice one Zorax, ask away.

 

[ZoraxDoom]

Yay!
I remember something about either Reilly/Grimmet telling him to bowl leg-stump half vollies with a leg slip in a few matches to the Don. Worked like a charm.

Okay, my question...
It's a simple one:
What is the significance of the following group of names: Frederick, Gilbert, Mills
??
And no researching, or asking Andrew for that matter!

 

[nightprowler10]

Does it have something to do with Kyle Mills, the Kiwi bowler?

 

[ZoraxDoom]

Nope. Try again.

 

[plympilgrim]

they never scored a fifty or took 5 wickets in an innings??
