Absolutely. The grandfather was James William Whittall, born in Turkey around 1900 who preferred the African wildlife to his family's business in Turkey (times were also a-changing after WW I) and emigrated to Rhodesia.

The Whittalls' family background keeps intruiging me. Wealthy English merchants based in Smyrna (today Izmir) from the 1820s onwards, the various members of the family also formed the backbone of the local cricket community, and Guy and Andy's great-grandfather went hunting with Frederick Selous, albeit not in Africa but in Turkey.

I wonder if any other Oxbridge cricketers ever played for Zimbabwe? (Plenty played for Rhodesia.) Malcolm Lake could be the next one if he ever does come back.

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

Ranchod and Traicos are the best quiz questions to emerge out of Zimbabwean Cricket
