Presumably could also be the record first class stand by two players born in the same town.

The boy and I have a challenge for the flight home tomorrow. To name 1500 sportspeople in the space of 3hrs. I’ve reckoned I can provide 500 cricketers, 100 rugby players and 50 snooker players.

Any cricketers that I should fit into my list?

Think families. The Graces and Currans start to pile up. And we have lots of mediocre all rounder names listed a few pages back.

When I first watched cricket, there seemed to be lots of da Silvas played for Sri Lanka. Then possibly misremembering Ratnayakes and Ramanayakes.

Other families, Crowes, Kirstens, Flowers, Cowdreys, Chappells.

Chris, David, Robin, Steve, Jamie, Graham - probably a whole alphabet of Smiths in there somewhere.

England’s 1993 Ashes squad could get you halfway there.
