POINT TO COVER

• Clockwise Infinite Bounce: 20 Questions

•While working for BBC Test Match Special Brian Johnston

obviously received a lot of fan mail.

One day he was surprised to find out a letter from Ken

Barrington’s mother. She had complained to ‘Johnners’ on

the grounds that he had accused her of carelessness and

ignoring her son on air.

What was the statement Johnston had made while

commentating?

POINT TO COVER

• “Ken Barrington completes an excellent century

though he was dropped when he was two.”

POINT TO COVER

For once Johnston was left speechless.

•The legendary Clarrie Grimmett is

usually credited with the invention of

the flipper. However, with time the

batsmen around the world could

decipher his flipper easily as

Grimmett’s fingers made an audible

flick while bowling.

How did Grimmett solve this problem?

POINT TO COVER

•He flicked the fingers of his left-hand audibly

when he did not bowl the flipper.

As a foxed Jack Fingleton told his mate, “Why,

you old fox, Grum, I do believe you bowled a leg

break with your right hand and flicked the

fingers of your left!”

agreed to him. As a result he decided to retire out.

POINT TO COVER

•This cricketer was standing at short-leg on his Test debut when his captain asked him to bowl.

POINT TO COVER

• West Indies verses South Africa, Port of Spain,

April 2005. Brain Lara scored 196 out of 347,

Brain would have scored a double century. How?

POINT TO COVER

if a ball hit a helmet, it would result in 5 runs for

the batsman. In 2005, the run was counted as

ricocheted off a helmet (probably Boucher's) and

WI got 5 runs. Had the rule not changed, Lara

would have crossed 200!
