Gary Crocker it is! I'm sure you would not have got it if not for the clue :)

I got this pic accidentally. I was searching for answer to brmtaylor.com admin's last question, thinking that it would be Gary and stumbled upon Hollywood Cricket Club's newsletter of 2005: http://www.hollywoodcc.net/PDFs/Newslet ... 202005.pdf

He started playing there from then on, and there was a Cricinfo interview of his in 2007 about it: http://content-ind.cricinfo.com/zimbabw ... 81765.html

Apparently, he was also an excellent baseball player.

Thanks for the reference. I have only seen one pic of Gary, which does resemble it, which was published it Oct' 92 edition of sportstar. It was of his debut one-dayer where he was ecstatic after takin wicket.

The difference in the pics- little bit baldness and puffiness.

Let us give it to you... It is Chloe Traicos, actress and daughter of the legendary Athanasios John Traicos. His birth place was Zagazig in Egypt. :)

So, the scores:

Let us not waste too much time on this guy, shall we?

He had a test average of 18 and ODI average of 12, and there was an occasion when Brendan Taylor was even dropped :!: to facilitate him as the wicket keeper in the side.

None other than Alester Maregwede!

Here is the sequence of "strange" dismissal of Chanderpaul. Identify the unlikely bowler who got this wicket & why were Zimbabweans upset at the west indian?
