I think Riki Wessels played as a Kolpak player.

Yep, that was the person I was thinking of. Can we award half a point to each person CrimsonAvenger?

332. This one might require some guesswork: The photo apparently captures the first ball bowled at the opening of a cricket ground which has since then hosted FC cricket. Name (or maybe rather guess) the ground.

Kwekwe?

[foreignfield]

Kwekwe?

Yes, Kwekwe Sports Club it is.

The date is 1952. The gentleman bowler, with his tie neatly tucked into his trousers, is Dr. Hirsch, the mayor of Kwekwe. His daughter who emigrated to the U.S. in the late sixties runs an impressive, if somewhat nostalgia-ridden blog about life around Kwekwe in the fifties. http://www.oncecalledhome.com/2012/04/a ... st-googly/

From the photo one can easily see why she refers to Kwekwe as "a dusty outpost in the veld".

333. It's triple Nelson and time for another 'Zimbo in exile'. Name this player who has also represented his adopted country.
