Hmm, spent quite a bit of time exploring - and nowhere near an answer. Has it got something to do with some Walter who drinks and has a ball? :)

Clue: I'm looking for another former player with roots outside the English-speaking world.

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

I reckon it's Andy Blignaut

picture 1 = Hat

picture 3 = Balls

piicture 2 = must be a player called rick in there somewhere

Altogether = Hat - Rick - Balls, Blignaut v Bangladesh in 2004

Beat that for a load of picture number 3

:lol:

Wow, that's impressive--but wrong nonetheless ;)
Herbert Chikomba?
Nope. What made you think that?

The online dictionary tells me 'chikomba' means "A lover, in a bad sense; one who takes the place of a husband or wife without legal right." :? :lol:

More clues? I'm looking for a FC player from the Rhodesian era, you need to do a bit of translation work on his surname (pictures 2 + 3), and forget about balls 'n drinks.

This is sensational Train Driver, but still falls short of your all-time best quip, a la Brandesesque sledge, on question number 398: http://zimcricketforums.com/viewtopic.p ... 917#p63904

That was THE best!

Alright, I don't think it can be Walter Stringfellow Taberer in any way, so may be, wildly, it could be Thomas Reginald Forbes?

Reginald - middle name of Walter Reginald Hammond. "forbe" in Danish seems to mean "reserve". The reserve player has come out with the drinks in pic 2. And since we need "forbes" and not "forbe", you have shown a plurality of balls there in pic 3, just to include an "s" at the end of "forbe", may be.

If this is not the answer, I give up :)
