Here is the happy group pic, taken presumably months before KC's sad demise. Butchart, Curran, Ellman-Brown, Paterson, Rawson, Jarvis, Jon Brent, Pycroft, Zeihl and Hogg:

I have always wondered how Vince Hogg's relationship with the cricketing community was affected by the rebel saga.

[foreignfield]

380. This man could have played alongside Vince Hogg for his native country, but he scored excactly 0 runs and took 0 wickets for Rhodesia before making his name as a solid all-rounder at FC level elsewhere. Who is he?

Need more clues?

Here is one: He played both Currie Cup and County cricket.

And here's another: His FC debut came in his only match for Rhodesia, where he played alongside some famous names like Colin Bland or the Pithey brothers.

[CrimsonAvenger]

Looks pretty familiar, but can't get the name, somehow...

[foreignfield]

Another clue: He was born in Bulawayo ... and tragically passed away long before his time a number of years ago.

[foreignfield]

Ok, final clue from me: Our man has, as I've said before, played county cricket, but he has never played for an English FC county. Does that help?

Interesting article about Vince,
http://www.espncricinfo.com/zimbabwe/co ... 38954.html
I believe he held a world record (I stand to be corrected) for facing the most number of balls in a FC match without scoring a run when Rhodesia were batting for a draw in a Currie Cup match. I once saw this info in an old Guiness Book of Records, if memory serves me correctly.
