If you list South African test cricketers by caps in the order in which each player won his Test cap, the list stops with X at 235 in 1969/70.

After their readmission to test cricket in 1992-93, the list resumes at 236 with Y.

Y's only Test appearance was South Africa's first Test back in the fold, at Bridgetown in 1991-92. He was also a member of the team that went to the 1992 World Cup in Australasia and eventually ended up playing only 2 ODIs. He died a month short of his 34th birthday apparently of a rare viral infection, but 18 months later his body was exhumed and a post mortem suggested he might have been poisoned.

Coincidentally X was still playing cricket when Y made his debut.Id X and Y.

Margaret Thatcher had a fairly controversial reign as the Prime Minister of England. There was a famous piece of Graffiti in London that said "Thatcher out"

The Australian team for the 1989 Ashes had won the series and were travelling for the 6th test match at the Oval, London. They came across this graffiti, but it had been vandalized as "Thatcher out ___ ________" to highlight (depending on your viewpoint) the ineptness of the umpires or as a tribute to the tormentor-in-chief for England.

What was the addition to the graffiti?

In 2005 he was employed by the Taranaki Cricket Association in NZ and in a game between his New Plymouth United club and Hawera, he did something to "make a stand".

Regarding X's selection in a test against SA in 2008,

Ian Botham described it as "The most illogical, pathetic and diabolical piece of selecting I've seen. The

selectors have embarrassed English cricket. I want to hear a proper explanation for this, as do England fans around the country."

Geoffrey Boycott said"This was one of the first big decisions taken by England's new selection

panel, and they got it badly wrong. They need to admit their mistake and realise that wild hunches are no way to build an international cricket team."

Following England's defeat, captain Michael Vaughan appeared to criticise the selection, saying

"It does look a confused selection, but the selection of one person does not lose you a Test."

X never played an international game after that. X's younger brother has had a promising start to his career though. Identify both.

draw with Wrexham. As the game drew to a close the bored crowd chanted "We want cricket"!

X wrote in The Guardian"This was written up as the '________ Test' because the pitch had

been infected by a fungus following a freak storm a few days earlier. It was damp, entirely grassless and mottled, seemingly perfect conditions for spin bowling."

"..from 79 for one I took four wickets, bowling flatter and quicker than usual to make use of the pitch, and the captain two to reduce them to 98 for seven.."

"Their second innings began on Saturday morning and after an initial burst from Snow and Geoff Arnold we went for spin at both ends. I had a spell of five for 18 in 13 overs either side of lunch and we knocked off the 20 runs we needed to win shortly after tea."

The infamous "Can't bowl, can't throw" incident.This occurred in a Test match between Australia

and Pakistan at Bellerive Oval in 1999. This was Scott Muller's second and last appearance in a Test match and his bowling had been below his best. Muller made an inaccurate throw from the outfield, and the words "He can't bowl, and he can't throw" went to air.

The finger was pointed at teammate Shane Warne, who was fielding close to the stump microphone, as the source of the comment. Warne denied it and eventually Joe the Cameraman confessed to having said the remark.

The song is called "Can't bowl, can't throw" and is by Six and Out and features Joe.

Leslie Hylton made his debut on the England tour of the West Indies in January 1935 in Barbados.

A rain-affected surface produced a rather strange game. England declared at 81/7 in reply to West Indies’ score of 102, and Hylton returned flattering figures 3-8 off 7.3 overs. Hylton ended the series with 13 wickets in 4 matches. Hylton did well enough to be chosen for the next tour, which was to England in 1939.

By that time, however, his bowling had fallen off, and his two games only yielded a further two wickets at a cost of 55.56 runs. Hylton was never chosen again and so he retired and settled down to life in Jamaica in the civil service.

He also is the answer to the question, “Who is the only test cricketer _________ .”

This began life in Sialkot in 1931, when brothers Dwarkanath and Kedarnath Anand decided to diversify the family business. By the time World War II broke out, they had 250 people working in its unit, and it continued through the war years.

In 1947 Dwarkanath’s family is holidaying in the hill resort of Kud in Kashmir when Pakistan and India are officially severed from each other. The family is told not to go back to Sialkot, now in Pakistan, and to move to Amritsar instead.

Dwarkanath, who was not on the trip, stayed put in Sialkot, hoping the situation would resolve quickly. It didn’t and Dwarkanath was asked to move to a refugee camp.

The Anands drifted from Amritsar to Delhi, then to Mathura, and then Agra. “We were refugees in our own country,” Anand says. “It was a horrible abuse word for us—refugees.” Finally, in 1950, many industrialist families uprooted from Sialkot managed to negotiate space and financial help from the government to re-establish their factories in Meerut,”
