I think the picture of Arnott walking out with Grant Flower has been around somewhere in this thread, so it's probably only worth half a point ;)

Anyway, here's another player from the past. Who is he?

That is absolutely correct. :)

Interestingly Grant Paterson made his ODI debut in one of Zim's greatest moments, the victory over Australia at the 1983 WC. And he was not afraid to stand up to the great Dennis Lillee either ;)
The pressure was strongest on Ali Shah and Grant Paterson as they went out to open the innings, but they handled it superbly. Paterson took first strike against Lawson, and was immediately under way with a glance to fine leg for a single. ... When Lillee came on, he soon had a minor altercation with Paterson. The batsman hooked a ball to fine leg and started running, watching the ball as he did so. Lillee, never a man to give way, remained firmly rooted in his follow-through and Paterson accidentally brushed his elbow as he passed him. Lillee, with characteristic graciousness, advised Paterson that if he did that again he would break his arm. Paterson did accidentally brush him again not long afterwards, and this time responded to Lillee's sweet talk by telling him to 'wind his neck in'. He received some short-pitched balls after that, but at the age of almost 34 Lillee was no longer quick enough to intimidate by pace alone.

Lillee was often a real knob.

Yep...I wish Miandad had finished the job in this famous incident:

Peterhouse U14C 4th change bowler and no. 10 batsman (but only because Aaron didn't have a bat).
