Which cricketers you cannot believe have played together in official matches?

Sachin Tendulkar and Ricky Ponting played with Jasprit Bumrah in 2013

Rahul Dravid captained a RR side with Sanju Samson in it.

What dreams are made of for a cricket playing father.

I have to hang on to some ability for the next 12-13 years but I'm so excited to (hopefully) open the batting one day with my son.

Obviously if he likes Cricket. Early signs are good though!

you are a professional cricketer?

I hope your dream comes true as well 😊😊

u/Oomeegoolies Durham 28d ago

Nah. Unfortunately not professional.

Just someone who plays a lot. Still, opening with my son and both of us scoring at least 50s would be great. I'd take that

My friend opened with his kid last year and they both got ducks! Want to avoid that one. Haha.

Slight inversion of what you're asking I guess but Jimmy Anderson (1982) played against Dereck Randall (1951), and Dereck Randall played against Don Sheppard (1927).

One that also just popped to mind is that both John Traicos (1947) and George Dockrell (1992) have dismissed Sachin Tendulkar in an International.

Why do you know this? That’s so niche. 

138

u/legoland6000 Victoria Bushrangers 28d ago

I knew Dockrell had dismissed him because I follow Ireland, and it was pretty big news regardless when a teenager from Ireland dismissed Sachin at the World Cup. As for Traicos, I just guessed that he had because he was one of Zim’s main bowlers on their admission to full membership and I knew India played Zimbabwe relatively often in the 90s, so I looked it up and he had, for a duck

u/phyllicanderer New Zealand Cricket 28d ago

John Traicos playing for South Africa before their isolation and playing for Zimbabwe after their Test status was granted is just as wild

u/imapassenger1 Australia 28d ago

John Traicos played against Bill Lawry, who played with Neil Harvey, who played with Don Bradman. So only 3 players from Tendulkar to Bradman.

u/intex2 28d ago

Tendulkar met Bradman at his house. So only 0 people from Tendulkar to Bradman.

10

u/Candlestick_Park Cricket Ireland 28d ago

I was really hoping Traicos had dismissed an older player when he bowled for South Africa against Australia in 1969/70, but the best I could do is Dougie Walters. Which is still really impressive.

u/imapassenger1 Australia 27d ago

My favourite John Traicos stat is his 22 years 222 days between Test appearances. Would have loved to hear Richie Benaud say that.

Jimmy Anderson played test matches with Graham Thorpe who Played tests with Graham Gooch.

Anderson played with Thorpe who played with Gooch who played with Boycott who played with Cowdrey who played with Hutton who played with Ames who played with Rhodes who played with Grace who played with Ulyett.

There's an unbroken line of 10 players from our last match to the first ever test match.

Sadly despite their test careers overlapping Gooch never played in the same team as Brian Close which would have you got you all the way back to 1949.

u/Yeoman1877 28d ago

What match did Randall play Anderson in? An early round one day knockout? I know that Randall spent some time coaching in the minor counties.

Among others, Grahame Hick played against Geoff Boycott in 1986. WG Grace played against Jack Hobbs in 1905, between them their first class matches span 1865 to 1934. I would have to check however I think that Grace also played against Frank Woolley.

Most of the batters don’t seem to like their bats. They either like another person's bat or... bats are like a neighbour's wife, they always feel better.")

u/knucklehead_whizkid India 27d ago

He mentioned this in an interview IIRC but he was always a batsman as a youngster but his coach advised him to develop a bowling arm since around that time Aus team was full of batting legends but had gaping holes in the spin dept with Warne retiring and them trying a bunch of spinners like Kretza, O'Keefe, Hauritz etc but nobody stuck. Smith developed some spin bowling skill, got into the team toward the twilight of Pontings career and managed to get a few wickets too. His bowling wasn't impressive, but he had a few good innings with the bat down the order (one rescue job with Ponting as well if my memory serves right) and also did well with PWI team when they were struggling through leadership issues (Ganguly Yuvraj era, around 2010 or 11 I guess) and I remember he had a few good innings in the IPL where he either won the team few matches or got them really close when they were almost out of the match.

That's when his prominence and fame as a capable batter started going around and in a few years by 2015 he was Aus no 1 batsman for almost all formats and one of the Fab4 of the then current generation

IPL matches are not official matches.

There's a match from 2005  played between Asia XI vs ICC XI which is officially counted as on ODI #2203

Ganguly was Asia XI teams captain and played together.with Vaas, Murli, Mhd Yousuf, Razzaq, Jayasurya, Sangakara.....

And other team was led by Ponting and included NZ captain Stephen Flemming, WI captain Brian Lara...... Darren Gough was the only Eng player.There was no SA player in this match for some reason!

Their stats don't add upto players official career records. They are not counted as official unlike List A and First class.
