Yes, that was the occasion, and the ground staff had to discard the name plates created for the score board

And there's your 50!

Feels good to join the club!

Btw, cricketarchive.com has disappeared behind a paywall all of a sudden which will make it more difficult to dig up scorecards and research past players

Just checked. Massive, massive loss!

Looks like they realized like The Joker that "if you are good at something, don't do it (or share it, in this case) for free"

527. All right, no amount of CrickeetArchive would help in this question anyway. I'm not entirely sure if this is indeed his photo, but circumstances (read current age, where he is based currently) indicate that it is indeed him. Another reason to believe this: his is a very unique name and everything you get when you google for him are his cricketing exploits except this image, from a completely different context.

He did not play much, but when he did, he was a Rhodesian wicket keeper.

Who is he?

Roy Ashburner?

Tony de Caila? Just throwing a guess

Neither. But both were really good guesses. Our man fits in somewhere in between these two.

Got it! It's Trefon Deftereos, right?

That's correct! I had thought this question would go unanswered

You can check out Trefon and family enjoying Holloween here: http://benonicitytimes-epaper.products. ... 16.pdf.pdf (Page 14)

He seems to be based in Benoni right now.

There seem to be more Rhodesian FC cricketers of Greek decent than any other nation (except English and Afrikaner/Dutch), and that's not even counting the Whittalls or Cephas Zhuwao
