The unusual thing about the last 2 games on the 1957/58 Australian tour to South Africa was..............





They weren't cricket games. The Australian cricket team played two games of baseball. One against the South African national champions, and the second against the South African national side. The Aussies won both games!

[shahid6995]

Whoa... wait, that was a serious question! What cricketer am I thinking about??

And for the complainers who say its not my turn, Graham Yallop 1978.

 

[Aseem Ralhan]

Graham Yallop 1978.

Wrong

 

[T20]

Dennis Amiss

 

[Aseem Ralhan]

Dennis Amiss

Correct

 

[shahid6995]

Ok, I rephrase. Yallop was the first to wear it in a Test match. Maybe you are asking who was the first person ever to wear a helmet? Well motorcycle helmets were quite common before cricket helmets, even in the wars, infantry people used to wear helmets a long time ago... be more specific with your question.

Dennis Amiss? Really? When?

 

[Aseem Ralhan]

This is cricket quiz thread so use your common sense and eyes open and tell me How can i ask a question which is not related to cricket.

 

[shahid6995]

Andrew just asked about baseball didnt he?

Ok, found it. Yallop was the first in Test matches in 1978, Amiss used the first in ANY cricket match during the Packer matches in 1977.

 

[Aseem Ralhan]

The question asked by andrew was related to cricket.

 

[shahid6995]

The question was related to cricket.

No it wasn't. It was about what happened AFTER all the cricket was done. Whatever. Shailesh's turn.
