Indeed it is!

In other news, scientists at CERN have recently concluded that two shakes of a lamb's tail is approximately the time it takes for a collapse of the Zimbabwean tail. It has been known for a while now that this is also the amount of time Vusi Sibanda spends, on an average, in the middle as a batsman.

423. We see a Zimbo in there, and there is a missing Zimbo in this list. Who is it? And what is the connection?

Most names identified are correct. Second below is not Brett Lee however. So, the man behind the question mark is also part of the list and is a Zimbabwean. What connects them?

Second from the left on the bottom row looks to me to be Cameron White. Also top left is Hansie Cronje and top right is Jacob Oram? Can't think of any connection though...

11 bowlers who have dismissed Sachin as their first wicket in Tests. Hansie Cronje (South Africa), Ujesh Ranchod (Zimbabwe), Ruwan Kalpage (Sri Lanka), Mark Ealham (England), Neil Johnson (Zimbabwe), Jacob Oram (New Zealand), Monty Panesar (England), Cameron White (Australia), Peter Siddle (Australia), Peter George (Australia) and Andy McKay (New Zealand).

It was also Ranchod's only Test wicket.

That's impressive, I know you're right about the Aussie blokes so I'm presuming you're correct ......

Yes indeed. Once the names of some of the guys were thrown into the equation, it was always going to be easy for someone to lookup all these guys together and see what connects them :)

Even though they are all related by this common feat, Ujesh Ranchod is even more special. It was his only wicket as you said, and this is the only way we could have asked a question about him on this thread after having searched for his photograph all over the Internet in vain for years :D

If you enter Ranchod's name into a search engine, you end up with a lot of Sachin pictures instead. :)
