That is absolutely correct. Peter Binsteed Breese played two matches for Midlands in 2000, scoring a paltry 17 runs in four innings -- he was almost 39 years old at that time.

I suppose he could bankroll first-class cricket in Zim with the spare change in his pocket nowadays.

Grant Flower is correct, but the reasoning needs a little more refinement. There is no one else in this elite list. Can you try again?

Oh yes sorry!,only these gentlemen managed to pull it off in both tests and odis.
Judged the context way too cursorily especially with the question coming on the back of latham's knock today

That's correct. I knew of the feat of Anwar and Grant, but was surprised there were two more in this list. Obviously the timing of the question made it a little easier...

469. What connects these three folks apart from the most obvious part of having represented Zim at the highest level?

Correct! Stephen Peall, Dirk Viljoen and Natsai MShangwe are the only Zimbabweans out of 99 test caps to have scored a pair of ducks on debut. Viljoen would be cringing every time he sees this dubious record I'm sure... :)
