Re: Alphabet Game
I think "Q" will have to be a pass. I'll go to "R" but anyone feel free to fill in a "Q".

Re: Alphabet Game
The good old Aussie/Kiwi/Aussie (or was it the other way around).
Can't think of a Q either. So I'll continue with...
Craig Spearman
Will you go with the Brummie plastic Kiwi of the same era for the next letter?

Re: Alphabet Game
IT was Roger Twose who I was referring to - former Warwickshire player who decided to move to New Zealand to qualify for them.

Re: Alphabet Game
Can't think of any Us in cricket, was trying for rugby too as an alternative but drawn a blank.
So moving onto V, and one of my favourite spinners growing up.

Willie Watson (the name of my personnel manager for the 13 years I was in the Merchant Navy - and obviously not the same guy, but that's why I remember the name).

Re: Alphabet Game
There's no X I can think of, so let's go for Bryan Young.
As for a Z, don't think there is, but there's a player with the middle initial Z (again mid/late 90s/earl 00s) - all rounder who could bowl leg spin or medium pace.

Re: Alphabet Game
Just googled and there is no Z, so that ends this game. The player I was referring to, of course, was Chris Zinzan Harris.
What next?

Re: Alphabet Game
btw, what's the rules in using google for this game? I suspect I'm not going to be very good (unless you count me using the word "Air" in conjunction with the country name of the current letter!)

Re: Alphabet Game
We've all had to resort to Google - but we only cheat ourselves and the fun if we don't have a good think first.
