Zimbabwe Cricket Photo Quiz

[foreignfield]

I'm glad you posted this one. This man deserves the attention, our scorer, Freeman Chigovera.

Yep, nice one, Crimson.

353. Another one who got away. Should be easy with the last part of his name visible on his shirt.

Obviously.

But I had to get that monkey off my back after I had earlier been fooled by a PJ Moor photo on Cricinfo which was wrongly attributed to Dan.

354. If the last one was too easy, this one might be more difficult to get. The gentleman pictured here has played FC cricket while studying abroad. He later returned to Rhodesia/Zimbabwe as a man of the church. Who is he?

Tough one but I think your hint clears things a bit. If my limited memory serves me right and from the hint you gave, this must be David Candler since he played first class cricket while studying abroad as a Rhodes scholar. He later returned to Zimbabwe, going on to become a man of the church. I think he left the country again at some point later on, don't know what happened since. I might be wrong on this one though. Its a tough one.

Yeah, well its Daniel Landman obviously.

Goodness, he has put on a some weight, hasn't he? If he batted left handed and wore those uniforms, you could mistake him for Jesse Ryder

And Leg-Glance, based on your impressive efforts so far on this thread, I think you appear most comfortably the best in zim cricket knowledge in terms of history, current folks involved, as well as recognition of faces and names. zimfan1 has been exemplary with the UK based folks and some yesteryear greats, Dr.Situ with those featuring in the international golden era. Myself, foreignfield and eugene have, I'm sure, spent hours researching about folks to ask or answer questions - and learning about them along the way. But you seem to be making all this look like child play

Lol, thanks Crimson. Well I'm a bit of a cricket nerd as they say. I just love learning more about the...lets say trivial aspects of cricket. Not just Zimbabwean cricket but cricket as a whole, I recently acquired an interest in the Nepal Cricket team and its history, the lives of the people involved etc. I just love stuff like that, you know there are different types of cricket nerds, there are your typical stats nerds who love to do the number crunching and are just obsessed with every single, albeit inconsequential statistic involved with the game of cricket. I am at the other end of the spectrum, and I would like to believe that I focus on the more graceful, artistic aspects of the game we all love. I love to pick up the little anecdotes from people who watched the players and teams of yore, to collect the pictures from magazines and journals,to accumulate the tidbits of knowledge from the vast cricket database that the internet is, I use all possible means to just do what I love doing. I won't say I am anymore knowledgeable than anyone of you here. I'm just incredibly obsessed with this.

Wow, that's really impressive. David Candler it is indeed who played for Oxford in the early 1950s. Born in Bulawayo in 1924, he later became chaplain at Plumtree school. He lives in retirement in Norfolk in the UK it seems (according to both Cricinfo and Cricketarchive he is still going strong at 88 years of age). I came across him by mere chance while researching the Theo Passaportis question, and I can't even remember the website where I found the info and his photo (had something to do with Plumtree I think).
