I'm no good at setting questions.

Who was Bradman bowled by, for a duck, in his final test innings, thus denying him the four runs required for a test average of 100? Furthermore, which test venue has a recently erected stand named after the guy in question? Both parts required guys!

Do you think you found me then?
Well, there weren't quite as many photos of "gentlemen" playing "cricket"...or where they? The text was quite amusing I thought, some of it at least, and certainly very interesting - although I must admit the amount of drinking did concern me somewhat. Did I spot you? Not exactly, but I guess you have to be one from these



My instinct says you can't be either one from the left, and have to be one from the two heads on the right, most probably the bigger head (or that's the way its looking in the picture) in the front

ps: no offence intented

bradman was robbed

Fantastic photos by the way ttfc!

Nice site.

bradman was bowled for a duck in his last innings by W Hollies allegedly because he had tears in his eyes (did he see the photos of ttfc as well then!) because he was given a standing ovation upon entry to the ground by the opposition/crowd

Haha, yes, I'm certainly not the ginger loon in the middle. However, this photo is several years old, and I may have been using my Kabab Stunt Double!

Surname is correct, but initial is not. What is Mr. Hollies' initial and which venue has named a stand after him?

Most Australian stadia do, don't they, eg Adelaide, SCG etc. Not sure which is the most recent though.

It was WE Hollies (commonly known as Eric Hollies).

Sorry! Yes, you are right. His initials are WE. My mistake.

The question is which venue has a stand named after Eric Hollies?

Well done. You are the first to completely answer both parts of the question correctly.
