537. The person I'm looking for was a former Rhodesian batsman. His name has at least 3 things that can be related to the man in the picture below (I'm sure most Zimbabwe cricket fans know who this is). Who are we looking for and in what 3 ways can his name be related to this man?

Jeremy Michael Sydney Baldwin?

Man in the picture: Jeremy Paul Bray, born in Sydney, and our scourge at the 2007 WC.

That's correct! Just a small update : The commonalities being Jeremy, the fact that Bray was born in a suburb of Sydney, and 'Bald' :)

The bald part eluded me. I thought the third would have been surname starting with a B :)

538. Baldwin played surprisingly many FC matches, considering his average returns. His stats are pretty similar to a contemporary batsman whose name is represented by the photos below. Who is he?

I'm guessing you were looking at more of this image for the third one than the one you have shared? :)

Well, there are two meanings for our man's last name which you seem to have guessed. But I need the name anyhow before giving you the point ;)

Yeah, given that I have figured out the answer, I don't know whether I should go for the answer or just append this as a clue so that others could benefit :)

Right, I think I waited long enough to give others a chance to get this point. Going for it myself. It is Keith Ransberg Kondo. I'm not sure but may be that word "contemporary" made people think it was Baldwin's Contemporary instead of "present"? At least that's what I thought when I first saw it but on reading again, it was clear.
