flyingfinn Jun 2016 2:50pm, 21 Jun 2016 714 posts	Quote Pin flyingfinn I thought my list was the same as Nicholls as the first series I remember is the Aussies in 72 but then I looked and Underwood only played the last two tests and I certainly remember the Second at Lords when Massie took 16 wickets, if not the First at Old Trafford (England changed Arnold for Price in the Second). So now I'm going to have to sit down and work it out
Nicholls595 Jun 2016 2:55pm, 21 Jun 2016 5,003 posts	Quote Pin Nicholls595 I remember Barry Wood on debut. I probably watched matches before the 5th Test, but this is the one I can actually remember.
flyingfinn Jun 2016 3:25pm, 21 Jun 2016 715 posts	Quote Pin flyingfinn Its going to be interesting to see how different two lists based on starting with the same series but different tests are going to be. My 2nd generation starts with the last test in India and as Embury didn't play in that they are already on completely different tracks.
flyingfinn Jun 2016 3:46pm, 21 Jun 2016 716 posts	Quote Pin flyingfinn Answer not much in the end. Probably now on fifth generation? 1 - First or Second Test Versus Australia 1972 - Geoff Boycott 2 - Fifth Test Versus India 1981/82 - Graham Gooch/Mike Gatting (last test was the same) 3 - First Test Versus West Indies 1995 - Graham Thorpe 4 - First Test Versus Australia 2005 - Ian Bell 5 (?) - Versus Pakistan 2015 - ?

TRO Saracen Jun 2016 5:25pm, 21 Jun 2016 13,067 posts	Quote Pin TRO Saracen 286 for sri Lanka. Enough to win 2 games against the 'old' England, new version could knock this off with 5 overs to spare if they hit their straps.
