When was the last time two Hampshire Batsmen were in at the same time in a Test Match

 

Robin Smith and David Gower?

 

KP ever batted with Chris Tremlett or Shaun Udal?

Paul Terry played 2 tests in 1984 I think it was but had his arm broken by one of the WI quick bowlers. Gower played all 5 tests but managed only an average of 19 :( However, he did not join Hants until 1989/90. By that time Robin Smith was a regular and they played together in the 1989 Ashes series but I think before Gower joined Hants. However, I would be sure they played together thereafter as Gower retired from Tests in 1992 and Smith in 1996.

Of course the Windies in '84 had Gordon Greenidge and the late great Malcolm Marshall so you certainly had 3 Hants players in the same match. Greenidge averaged about 81 in that series, Marshall took 24 wickets at 18.2 and together with Garner ( 29 wickets) and Holding ( 15) put England to the sword. No surprise they won the series 5-0 !

You weren't too sure the first time, now you're positive?

 

I think he'll play a few games early season to try and get his game back on track, prior to the Bangladeshi Lords test in May.

 

No, they were 2 different questions, the same answer but with differing degrees of certainty/ uncertainty !

I imagine he will play a few games though I'm not banking on it.

Probably not with IPL and World Cup 20/20 in April/May

Surely he will be playing in the 20/20 Cup in June
