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

Luke Ronchi - another good "kiwi" surname :lol:

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...

Will you go with the Brummie plastic Kiwi of the same era for the next letter?

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

Might need to think about U for a bit...

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).

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.

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?

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!)

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. Carry-on.
